You have to be pro-active to claim your State Pension.

Well I'm not surprised, the same can be said for most other benefits.
I didn't know anything about Child Tax Credit until my accountant(*)
mentioned it as an aside. So if anyone out there has kids and hasn't
claimed I suggest you look into it and don't get thinking "our
household income will be to high" (unless it's more than about
£55K...).

I would reckon there can't be many out there who qualify for both State
Pension and Child Tax Credit.
I'm just waiting for them to take away the Tax Credit once (if) they start
paying the old age pension.
