PENSIONERS are being urged to make sure they are getting the benefits they are entitled to by Age Concern.

The aim of Your Rights Week from today to Friday, April, 11, is to make sure pensioners get the right benefits.

Age Concern Herefordshire and Worcestershire claims that thousands of pensioners are not claiming their benefits and allowances.

Anyone with queries regarding this subject should call an information officer any morning between 9.30am and 1.30pm.

Pensioners can also make an appointment for an Age Concern surgery on Wednesday, April 9, between 10am and 1pm.

A tax surgery is also being held on Tuesday, April 8, from 10am to 3pm.

To make an appointment for the surgeries or for a tax enquiry, and to find out where they are held, ring an information and advice officer on 01905 726652.

There will be another pensions surgery in May.
