At G.S.K, we believe that prevention is the best medicine. Prevention is pioneering new medicines to reduce

HIV transmission, applying decades of experience and asthma control to limit long-term lung damage or stopping chronic

conditions from progressing to most serious complications because preventing disease

is the best possible outcome for all of us and is why GSK unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of

disease together. Visit gSK.com to learn more. This episode is in paid partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions.

Now, the things we choose to tell our parents, grandparents, or in fact any elderly friend or relative, well they can be a bit selective at times.

Don't pretend you're not sure what I'm talking about. I bet everyone has something

popping into their head which they've decided is best to just not tell that person about.

Okay so for me here's something my mum doesn't know about.

I never told her that during a trip to New Zealand a few years ago

I was centimetres away from being crushed by a rock slide.

It was whilst I was hiking up a mountain.

It was misty and I lost the trail.

With my mum already worrying with myself being the other side of the world, you can understand how that event didn't make it into future conversations.

Now we've all got something we haven't told our parents or grandparents, as sometimes it's just easier that way.

But here's something you really do need to let them know.

Thousands of people over the age of 66 are missing out on pension credit worth on average 3,900 a year. Plus they could also

be entitled to the winter fuel payment if they apply by December 21st. We are on a mission to make sure that everyone who is eligible

is also in the know. So we think it's all of our duties to tell the older people

in our lives this one thing which could make a real difference. Pension credit is a benefit

for people over state pension age on a low income that can top up pension income and

help with day-to-day living costs.
