Pension Credit
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people claim Pension Credit.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
Based on the latest published Pension Credit caseload statistics (sources below), in February 2024 there were 1,359,475 households in Great Britain claiming Pension Credit.
The published Pension Credit figures refer to households, so the number of individuals will be higher (i.e., taking account of households where it is a couple claiming Pension Credit).
