Check your benefits entitlement

Retired members concerned about the winter fuel announcement can check their situation with UNISON’s benefits calculator

The government has announced that, due to the state of the public finances, some pensioners will no longer receive the winter fuel allowance.

For retired members who are concerned about the impact of this, UNISON has a calculator to check your benefits, which includes finding out if you are entitled to pension credits.

The National Pensioners Convention, to which UNISON is affiliated, has launched a campaign on the issue, as has Independent Age.
