Pensioner Just Missing Out Scheme

The Pensioner Just Missing Out scheme supports Kent pensioners in need of help with significantly rising living costs.

The scheme is available for pension-aged residents on lower incomes who are not eligible for Pension Credit or the government’s Winter Fuel Payment.

The scheme is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions on behalf of the UK government.

Please Note: You will need to provide an Email address and have online access for energy support activation. Food vouchers will not require online activation and can be issued by Email or post.

The scheme provides eligible residents with £200 towards energy, food, or both.

The scheme will close on Friday 28th February 2025, or when all funds are spent.
