    Pension Credit (UK) - Grundsicherung

    New entry

    Pension Credit (UK) - Grundsicherung

    Examples/ definitions with source references
    https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/ol...
    f you are an older person on a low income, you may be able to claim a means-tested benefit called Pension Credit. Depending on your income, you may also be entitled to Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction, or a rate rebate in Northern Ireland.
    If you are a woman, you can claim Pension Credit once you've reached State Pension age. Your entitlement to Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction will also be worked out differently once you've reached State Pension age, so you may become entitled to these benefits even if you weren't before.

    Was ist Grundsicherung in der Rente?
    Anspruch und Höhe der Grundsicherung
    Die Grundsicherung erhalten Bedürftige, deren finanzielle Möglichkeiten nicht ausreichen, um den Lebensunterhalt im Alter oder bei Erwerbsminderung zu bestreiten. Die Sozialleistung wird aus Steuermitteln finanziert. Ende 2013 bezogen knapp 962.000 Menschen in Deutschland Leistungen der Grundsicherung im Alter und bei Erwerbsminderung. Bei den Rentnern lag der Anstieg der Bezieher im Vergleich zum Vorjahr bei 7,4 Prozent. Experten gehen davon aus, dass künftig mehrere Millionen Rentner von Altersarmut betroffen sein werden.

    The two are not 100% equivalent as the systems are different but I think it would be useful to have this in.

    Please feel free to amend as necessary.

    Als Faden für Leute, die mal eine ungefähre Entsprechung suchen, finde ich das gut, aber fürs Wörterbuch ist sowas immer schwierig, finde ich. Ich würde aber "Grundsicherung im Alter" für das Deutsche vorschlagen.

    agree but it's just the sort of thing you can't find anywhere.

    Context/ examples
    Grundsicherung - "bedarfsorientierte und bedürftigkeitsgeprüfte Sozialleistungen zur Sicherstellung des Lebensunterhaltes"

    "Die Grundsicherung erhalten Bedürftige, deren finanzielle Möglichkeiten nicht ausreichen, um den Lebensunterhalt im Alter oder bei Erwerbsminderung zu bestreiten"

    "Pension Credit is a benefit for older people"

    @jamqueen: 'Grundsicherung' appears to have a far wider scope than pension credit, which is only for older people. 'Beneifts', the term on the link you posted, is probably a closer translation, but also not entirely equivalent. As you say, "the two are not 100% equivalent as the systems are different" so personally I don't think this should be entered as a possible translation. You say it would be useful to have this in, but on the contrary, I think it could be misleading.

    ok, then we'll leave it. People can always find this thread.
