Communities Minister Gordon Lyons has announced a renewed advertising initiative designed to increase awareness of the Make the Call service.
The refreshed campaign will be distributed across traditional and social media platforms from November 2026 through February 2027.
Through engagement with the Make the Call Wraparound Service, 1,794 individuals were assisted in securing Pension Credit during the previous year.
This support enabled an additional £7.9million of annualised benefit to be generated for recipients.
A total of 11,486 people benefited from the service over the last twelve months.
Separately, 3,155 pensioners received assistance in claiming Attendance Allowance, creating an extra £16million in annualised benefits.
Earlier this year the Department extended its advisory reach by introducing the Veterans Support Line NI.
Advice is also delivered through Jobs and Benefits networks working alongside AdviceNI and the Northern Ireland Debt Advice Service.
The Department continues to collaborate with partners such as the Money and Pensions Service to maximise access to support.
For further information contact the Department for Communities' press office on 028 9082 3516 or via email.
Media enquiries can be directed to the Executive Information Service between 1800hrs and 0800hrs Monday to Friday, including weekends and public holidays.
