62yr old - what income is available

Not sure if this is the right thread or even question!
My dad is 62yrs old.
He has worked all his life, as a farm worker, council worker and latterly as a shor-diatance lorry driver.
He had a pension with the council and collected a lump-sum when he retired from them.
Now he has no job and obviously no income from employment.
He had to give up lorry driving after he had a mild stroke.
Other than the state pension (I think) what other incomes would he be entitled to?

He will also be to back claim Winter Fuel allowance fo rthis year and previous years, as he is unlikley to have received the automatic payment if he hasn't claimed benefits since the age of 60.
http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/winterfuel/past-winters.aspI no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0 -
Tks CIS, I'll give that a try.0
