Pension payments and benefits

Hello everyone,
I'm a 57 year old man who had to retire with pretty severe back problems. However as I receive a pension I am entitled to no benefits or help whatsoever.
My income has dropped by 60% but my outgoings stay the same. I'm desperate for any help or advice I can get.
Regards Paul.

Hi @scoobyfox, and welcome to the community!
Turn2Us have some great guidance on pension payments and how these affect benefits, including things you can still claim even whilst receiving a pension. Have a read and let me know if it helps!
