On Monday morning I’m holding a meeting with the DWP and around 20 influential people from the financial services industry looking at what we can do to help people through this cost of living crisis.

High on the agenda is to get those who aren’t claiming it and should be,  claiming pension credit

I am pleased to see that the Pensions Minister is adopting the same  robust approach to that meeting as i am!
