You can claim Guarantee Credit if you're over 60. If you (or your partner) are aged 65 or over, you can claim Savings Credit, which can be paid on top of Guarantee Credit or on its own.

You can claim Pension Credit and still do some work. There's no restriction upon either the type of work or how many hours you do. If you have a partner, they're equally free to work. There's no distinction between part-time and full-time work.

However, for Guarantee Credit, your earnings will count as income and this will affect the amount you are paid. If your income is too high, you'll no longer receive Guarantee Credit.

Savings Credit also depends on your income, including your earnings, but may be payable even if you no longer get Guarantee Credit.

If you work more than 16 hours a week, you may be eligible for Working Tax Credit. It's possible to claim this alongside Pension Credit, but any Working Tax Credit you get will count as income for Pension Credit purposes.
