Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
PENSION Credit payments can be stopped or cut for many reasons, so it’s important to be clued up to make sure you don’t get cut off.
Households could see their cash flow stalled if they fail to meet the requirements set out by the government’s Pension Service.
Your payments could be affected if there’s a change in your personal or financial circumstances.
This can include things like moving house or switching bank accounts.
And it’s more important than ever to make sure you don’t lose your entitlement to Pension Credit – which is worth on average £3,900 a year alone – as it can unlock other payments, including the winter fuel payment.
The winter fuel payment, worth up to £300, was previously available to everyone over the state pension age (66).
However, cuts made by chancellor Rachel Reeves mean the payment is limited to around 1.5million retirees on pension credit or those receiving certain six other means-tested benefits.
We have compiled a list of reasons why your Pension Credit could be cut, which you can check below.
Of course, it’s important to check the DWP website, or contact the department directly, if you think something has happened that could affect your payments.
You need to tell the Pension Service if there have been any changes to your household income, according to Citizen’s Advice.
That’s because your income affects the amount of pension credit you get – and if you get it at all – meaning payments could be stopped altogether in some cases if your income increases beyond the eligibility threshold.
Your income can go up or down for a number or reasons, for instance if you start to receive other benefits, or if another benefit payment stops, including tax credits.
A change in your pension, savings or investments can also cause your Pension Credit eligibility to change, for example if you start getting a new pension or take a lump sum from your pension pot.
Plus, if you start or finish employment or self-employment, you will need to inform the Pension Service.
Of course a reduction to your income could also mean that you’re entitled to higher payments too.
You should also let the government know if you have increased costs like service charge or ground rent too, as this could increase your payments.
It’s not just your own financial circumstances that could affect your claim.
If someone else in your house starts receiving more or less money from benefits or work, you will need to tell the Pension Service.
HUNDREDS of thousands of pensioners are missing out on Pension Credit.
The Sun’s Assistant Consumer Editor Lana Clements explains why it’s imperative to apply for the benefit..
Pension Credit is designed to top up the income of the UK’s poorest pensioners.
In itself the payment is a vital lifeline for older people with little income.
It will take weekly income up to to £218.15 if you’re single or joint income to £332.95.
Yet, an estimated 800,000 don’t claim this support. Not only are they missing on this cash, but far more extra support that is unlocked when claiming Pension Credit.
With the winter fuel payment – worth up to £300 now being restricted to pensioners claiming Pension Credit – it’s more important than ever to claim the benefit if you can.
Pension Credit also opens up help with housing costs, council tax or heating bills and even a free TV licence if you are 75 or older.
All this extra support can make a huge difference to the quality of life for a struggling pensioner.
It’s not difficult to apply for Pension Credit, you can do it up to four months before you reach state pension age through the government website or by calling 0800 99 1234.
You’ll just need your National Insurance number, as well as information about income, savings and investments.
The Pension Service will need to be told if you change important personal details like your name, or if you move house.
You will also need to report if people move in or out of your home.
You have to tell them even if it seems like a small change, or it’s only for a short time.
For example, you’ll need to tell them if someone in your house moves out – even if they’re planning to move back in.
Going into hospital, a care home or sheltered accommodation could also have a baring on your Pension Credit payments.
You should tell the Pension Service as soon as possible about any changes to avoid this.
It may sound obvious, but make sure you inform the government if you change bank accounts and you’ll need your payment to be sent elsewhere.
Getting married, divorced or entering a civil partnership could affect your Pension Credit payments.
The same goes for if you have a partner move in with you, or leave your home.
If you start living with a partner who’s under the State Pension age, your pension credit will stop.
Instead you might be eligible for Universal Credit under the pension credit rules for mixed age couples.
Once both of you are over the state pension age, you could be eligible for Pension Credit again.
If you’re a carer and you stop providing care for someone, you will need to tell the Pension Service.
Additionally, if you get extra Pension Credit for looking after a child, you must tell the Pension Service if the child stops living with you.
It’s also important to tell the service if your partner, or someone you live with dies.
Pension Credit is a benefit which gives you extra money to help with your living costs if you’re on a low income in retirement.
It can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.
You may be able to get extra help of you’re a carer, have a disability, or are responsible for a child.
It also opens up access to lots of other benefits such as the warm home discount scheme, support for mortgage interest, council tax discounts, free TV licences once you’re over 75, and help with NHS costs.
To qualify, you need to be over state pension age and live in England, Scotland or Wales.
If you have a partner, you need to include them on your claim.
Pension Credit tops up:
However, even if your income is higher, you might still qualify if you have a disability or caring responsibilities.
There is also another element to Pension Credit called savings credit. To get this, you need to have saved some money towards your retirement.
You can get an extra £17.01 a week for a single person or £19.04 a week for a married couple.
If you have more than £10,000 in savings, the government uses a calculation to work out how much it adds to your income.
Every £500 over £10,000 counts as £1 income a week. For example, if you have £11,000 in savings, this counts as £2 income a week.
You can claim Pension Credit for up to four weeks if you are abroad.
This is extended to eight weeks if the absence is due to the death of your partner or a child.
If they are receiving medical treatment, this can be extended to a maximum of 26 weeks.
You will need to tell the Pension Service if you plan to leave the UK for more than four weeks.
You’ll stop getting Pension Credit if you leave the UK permanently.
You will need to call the Pension Service and tell them about the change.
You can get someone else to call on your behalf, but you must be with them when they call.
You can reach the service on 0800 731 0469. Calls are free from mobiles and landlines.
After you’ve called, Citizen’s Advice say that it’s best to write a letter to the Pension Service to confirm the change.
In the letter, you should explain what the change is and when it happened.
Ask the Post Office for proof of postage – you might need to show when you sent your letter.
You can find the address of your nearest Pension Centre on GOV.UK.
If you don’t tell the government about a change straight away, or gave the wrong information, you might be asked to repay money.
This could reduced the amount you get each month, and even reduce it to zero in some cases.
You can dispute deductions from your Pension Credit payments. This is know as mandatory reconsideration.
You can ask for mandatory reconsideration if any of the following apply:
It is free to do this, but you usually need to ask for the reconsideration within one month of the date of the decision.
You can ask for it after one month if you have a good reason, for example if you’ve been in hospital or had a recent bereavement.
It always worth using a benefits calculator if you predict your circumstances will change.
This will allow you to budget for the future and also give you a heads up on whether or not you should speak to your council to ask for advice.
There are a number of benefit calculators online on charity websites such as Turn2us, Policy in Practice and Entitledto.
You can also visit your local Citizens Advice for any questions about how much you benefits you are owed.
YOU can use a benefits calculator to help check that you are not missing out on money you are entitled to
Charity Turn2Us’ benefits calculator works out what you could get.
Entitledto’s free calculator determines whether you qualify for various benefits, tax credit and Universal Credit.
MoneySavingExpert.com and charity StepChange both have benefits tools powered by Entitledto’s data.
You can use Policy in Practice’s calculator to determine which benefits you could receive and how much cash you’ll have left over each month after paying for housing costs.
Your exact entitlement will only be clear when you make a claim, but calculators can indicate what you might be eligible for.

ROY KEANE has been tipped for a stunning return to football management – in Scotland.
The Manchester United legend has been working full-time as a pundit with Sky Sports and ITV since his last coaching role ended five years ago.
Keane, 53, was last in the dugout as assistant to Martin O’Neill at Nottingham Forest.
He left that position in June 2019 and hasn’t been in management since.
Prior to that, he had a five-year stint with the Republic of Ireland national team as a coach, assisting O’Neill.
Keane also had a brief spell as Paul Lambert’s No2 at Aston Villa in 2014 but left to focus on his role with Ireland.
He has had two front-line managerial roles himself, spending two-and-a-half-years in charge at Sunderland from between 2006 and 2008 and just under two years as boss of Ipswich from April 2009 to January 2011.
Now, he’s being mentioned as a potential next manager of Hibs.
The Edinburgh club appointed David Gray as the man to succeed Nick Montgomery on a permanent basis, after a period as interim manager.
But the Hibees have struggled mightily this season and go into this Sunday’s Edinburgh derby rock bottom of the Premiership table.
Speculation has mounted that Gray could be sacked after another bad result and according to Gambling.com, former Man Utd and Celtic midfielder Keane is the leading contender.
Also priced up by odds-makers are St Mirren‘s Stephen Robinson – though he is set to sign an extension with the club – and Scott Brown, the Celtic legend who is currently managing Ayr United.
A spokesperson for Gambling.com said: “Roy Keane has made no secret of his desire to get back into management, having been out of the dugout since leaving Ipswich 13 years ago.
“The former Celtic midfielder has also been linked with Hibernian in the past. In 2022, he was reportedly keen to replace Shaun Maloney at Easter Road.
“Nothing came of the speculation, but Keane is currently the 7/4 favourite to be Hibernian’s next manager.”

A NEWBORN baby is fighting for its life after their mum plunged to her death from a 17-storey tower block.
A woman “in the late stage of pregnancy” fell “from a height” at a Leeds tower block in Burmantofts, yesterday morning.
West Yorkshire Police were called to Shakespeare Towers, in Shakespeare Approach at around 10.24am by Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
Paramedics battled to save the woman, in her 30s, but she was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
The woman’s baby was delivered at hospital, where the newborn remains in a critical condition.
Cops confirmed there were “no suspicious circumstances”.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “At 10.24am today, police were contacted by the ambulance service who had been called to an incident where a woman had fallen from height at.
“The woman died at the scene as result of her injuries.
“There were no suspicious circumstances and the Coroner’s Office has been informed.
“The woman, aged in her thirties, was in the late stage of pregnancy and her baby was delivered at hospital after the incident and is receiving critical care.”
HEAT pumps are an environmentally friendly way to keep your home warm and can reduce your heating bills significantly
And best of all, you might be able to get one installed for free.
Air source heat pumps take in cold air, raise its temperature and use this to heat a home, potentially saving billpayers £380 a year on their energy costs.
While heat pumps use electricity to heat the cold air, which normally comes from outside, they produce far more energy than they use and are around four times more efficient than a traditional gas or oil boiler.
And they last around five years longer than your standard gas boiler.
Ground source heat pumps are also available, which work in a similar way using the natural heat from the ground.
Exactly how much a heat pump could save you, depends on the heating system you’re upgrading from.
The Energy Saving Trust has estimated that replacing a G-rated heating system with a high performing heat pump in a semi-detached house could result in savings of £380 a year,
Even replacing a G-rated system with a low performing heat pump would save you around £200 a year.
Replacing an average heating system with a high performing heat pump in a semi-detached house could save you £210 a year.
An air source heat pump costs significantly more than a gas boiler on average, according to the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC).
But costs are coming down all the time and energy companies are offering some heat pumps for £500, with a government grant.
If you’re on a low income, you might even be able to get all costs covered as you upgrade.
These are the schemes available to get a free or discounted heat pump installed in your home:
The Energy Company Obligation is a government scheme that helps hard-up households install home upgrades that will tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions.
It requires medium and large energy suppliers to help low-income, fuel-poor and vulnerable households to heat their homes.
Energy suppliers can choose how they fulfil their obligations but many offer to cover the cost of installing heat pumps.
Some will even also install solar panels at homes to power the pumps, leading to further reductions to energy bills.
You might qualify for the help if you live in private housing and get one of the following benefits:
If you own your home and are seeking help, it must have an energy efficiency rating of D, E, F or G.
Whereas if you rent from a private landlord, you can access support if your house has an energy efficiency rating of E, F or G.
You can check the energy rating of your home on the government website.
There is no cap on the funding that households can get, which means you may be able to get a grant to cover the total cost of installing a heat pump at your home.
The scheme also offers help with covering the cost of other energy efficient measures, like insulation.
To apply for the scheme you can contact your local authority or your energy supplier.
Different suppliers will offer funding for different projects, so you need to check with your provider.
The following suppliers all take part in the scheme:
A heat pump is a type of renewable energy technology that enables you to heat your home in an environmentally friendly way.
They deliver heat at a lower temperature than gas and oil boilers so they have to be run for much longer periods at a time.
There are also ground source heat pumps that take the heat from underground by pumping water through it in pipes.
Heat pumps take the available heat from the ground or air and increase it to a higher temperature using a compressor.
It then transfers the heat to the heating system in your home.
The pump uses electricity to run but it takes less energy than the heat it produces, making it an efficient way to warm your home.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers households grants up to £7,500 to install heat pumps in their homes.
You can apply for the grant, which aims to cut carbon emissions, whatever your financial situation.
To get the help you must:
An MCS certified installer will be able to give you a quote for installation and tell you if you are eligible for one of the grants.
You can find a list of MCS-certified installers by going on the msccertified.com website.
Once you’ve agreed a quote with the installer, they will normally apply for the grant on your behalf.
The value of the grant is then be deducted off the cost of installation.
So if the work costs £12,500, you would pay £5,000.
Many energy firms also have special tariffs and offers for those installing heat pumps in their homes.
EDF offers customers with heat pumps access to a special tariff to enhance their savings.
It is also pledging to give free electricity throughout December 2025 to those that install the technology.
Octopus also has a tariff specially designed for heat pump users.
The provider said the Cosy Octopus tariff could save households £264 a year, compared to using a gas boiler.
Installing a heat pump through British Gas would make you eligible for its heat pump energy offer, which caps the price of energy used by the device at 14p per kWh for 12 months, potentially saving customers £456.
Before you look to have a pump installed it’s worth checking what your provider will offer and whether you need to install through them to claim.
Laura Court-Jones, Small Business Editor at Bionic shared her tips.
1. Turn your heating down by one degree
You probably won’t even notice this tiny temperature difference, but what you will notice is a saving on your energy bills as a result. Just taking your thermostat down a notch is a quick way to start saving fast. This one small action only takes seconds to carry out and could potentially slash your heating bills by £171.70.
2. Switch appliances and lights off
It sounds simple, but fully turning off appliances and lights that are not in use can reduce your energy bills, especially in winter. Turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use, can save you up to £20 a year on your energy bills
3. Install a smart meter
Smart meters are a great way to keep control over your energy use, largely because they allow you to see where and when your gas and electricity is being used.
4. Consider switching energy supplier
No matter how happy you are with your current energy supplier, they may not be providing you with the best deals, especially if you’ve let a fixed-rate contract expire without arranging a new one. If you haven’t browsed any alternative tariffs lately, then you may not be aware that there are better options out there.
