Claiming Pension Credit

I wish you would get your figures correct !
You keep claiming that if your pension is under £220 you are likely to get PC.
This is totally wrong.
I have tried to claim as a single person with an income of £203 per week and I can get absolutely NOTHING.
So, why do you keep on leading with £220 ?

Yes, I agree, these are the correct ammounts

Pension Credit tops up:

• your weekly income to £201.05 if you’re single
• your joint weekly income to £306.85 if you have a partner

I assume you are addressing this to Martin Lewis, he doesn't post here.

He mentioned this £220 point on his TV program today, apparently the £203 limit isn't absolute and can be higher depending on circumstances.

+1.  On the show he made a specific point about that higher £220 figure and his reason for using that instead of the lower amount.  Looks like a case of only hearing what you want to hear, something we see a lot of on here.
