Online seminars on accessing Pension Credit
Digital Communities Wales, a Welsh Government project that has been set up to reduce digital exclusion in Wales, is running some free online training session for members of staff and volunteers (for example in charities or local support groups) who may support people with the digital skills needed to access Pension Credit online. The session will include discussion on the personal skills required to support someone to get online and consider the transferable digital skills associated with accessing online services.
This is an important issue as only older people who receive Pension Credit will be eligible for the Winter Fuel Payment this year, and applications for Pension Credit must be made by 21st December. Dates of the seminars are:
- Thursday 5 December from 10-11:30am - Register here.
- Friday 6th December from 11 to 11.30 (delivered in Welsh) - Register here.
