Social Fund
People who receive Pension Credit may be entitled to extra expenses from the Social Fund through a Community Care Grant or a Budgeting Loan.
The Social Fund is different from other benefits. Different offices often apply different rules, so it is important to seek advice.
This information is taken from our advice leaflet 'Can You Claim It?'.
This information covers people aged 60 and over who live in the UK. It doesn't apply to people living in a care home.
