A mixed age couple is a couple where one partner is under pension age and the other is over pension age. It does not matter if you are married or not.

Some mixed-age couples are not able to claim Pension Credit or Housing Benefit and so need to claim Universal Credit.

You can use the Turn2Us benefits calculator to work out which benefits you can claim.
