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.
Eligible households can apply for vouchers worth £200 which can be used to help pay for food, energy or both.
You will be eligible for assistance if you:
- or a partner living with you is aged 66 or over
- are a Kent resident, permanently living within one of the 12 local authorities covered by Kent County Council
- have an annual household income (before tax) between £11,343.80 (£17,313.40 for a joint household income) and £40,000
- do not have more than £1000 in savings
- are not in receipt of Pension Credit
To apply, please use the QR code or visit www.kent.gov.uk/justmissingout
If you’re not able to apply online, please contact your local Citizens Advice branch for support.
This scheme is being promoted by KCC and funded by the UK Governments Household Support Fund and will close on 28 February 2025 or when all funds are spent.
