Pension Service

t. 01228 536 673 e. admin@ageukcarlisleandeden.org.uk

There have been many changes within the Pension Service in recent years. We are working closely in partnership with the Pension Service and are happy to help with any queries.

Resource Centre Sandgate Penrith CA11 7TP

A development of our Information and Advice service was the obtaining of Alternative Office status from the Pension Service. This involves alternative offices being authorised by the secretary of state for work and pensions to receive and verify social security claims made by older people (over 50).

t. 01768 863 618 e. office@ageukcarlisleandeden.org.uk

We also enable clients to make face-to-face claims and have documents verified without having to post them. The benefit claim can then go straight to DWP without the need for further verification.
