ELDERLY people are being urged to claim the benefits they are missing out on.
Age Concern Dorchester has launched its More Money in Your Pocket Campaign.
The charity says many pensioners are not claiming money they are entitled to - including council tax and housing benefits.
Peter Lindsley, information and advice manager, said: "There are hundreds of pensioners in Dorchester who are missing out on cash that is rightfully theirs, which could make a massive difference to their quality of life."
For more information call Age Concern free on 0800 009966.
The campaign is running as part of a national Age Concern campaign.
