Pensioner Just Missing Out scheme

Could you or someone you know be eligible to receive a £200 voucher which can be redeemed towards food, energy, or both?

The Pensioner Just Missing Out scheme supports Kent pensioners in need of help with significantly rising living costs. The scheme is available for pension-aged residents on lower incomes who are not eligible for Pension Credit or the Government's Winter Fuel Payment.

The scheme is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions on behalf of the UK Government.

Please note – you will need to provide an email address and have online access for energy support activation. Food vouchers will not require online activation and can be issued by email or post.

For further details, including eligibility criteria, please click on the following link:
