Pension credits??

Hi all,
Wonder if anyone can tell me what a pension credit is exactly?
I'm trying to find out if my OAP mother can get a new boiler on various schemes the government does but they require her be on pension credits. I'm confused as I thought pension credits were on top of the normal state pension so people that get pension credits as well surely receive more money than people on a state pension alone?
She receives about £145 a week with no other income and owns her own property.
Many thanks if anyone can help me out.

Is your mother entitled to Pension Credit?

"It's worth claiming Pension Credit even if you are only entitled to a small amount, as it can help you qualify for other benefits."

this explains it, she can always call the Pension people and they can confirm what benefits she is on0
