Thanks to BBC's Money Box but no other broadcast news outlet that I know of, one learns that a mean tweak to the eligibility of couples to pension credit, which has been on the shelf since 2012, will be brought into operation from 15th May. (The government announcement was slipped out on the eve of a key Brexit vote.) Basically, couples will only qualify for pension credit when both parties have achieved state pension age, whereas before only one partner needed to have done so.
