Hi freddey
Yes you can apply for PCG 3 months before you retire depending on your circumstances; www.gov.uk/pension-credit

Hi freddey
Thank you for the update,
Pension Credit Guarantee is quite an easy benefit to apply for once you know you are eligible. I often come across claimants in receipt of PIP or AA who should be getting PCG to top up their state pension.
