What’s the difference between state pension and pension credit and are they linked?

Pension credit is an additional benefit that can top-up your state pension. If you qualify it unlocks other things, such as free prescriptions, free NHS dentistry and other benefits. My wife and I recently got registered with a new dentist surgery, offering NHS services.🙂
