Pension Credit: Gosport

Asked by Dame Caroline DinenageConservativeDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 15 October 2024UIN 6049

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 11 September 2024 to Question 2857 on Pension Credit: Gosport, if she will make it her policy to collect that data at constituency level.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

Estimates of the number of Pension Credit entitled non-recipients (ENRs) are based on survey data. The survey sample sizes for ENRs are too small to calculate take-up rates in smaller geographical areas. This means that we are unable to collect data at constituency level using this methodology. Further information around the take-up statistics can be found at: Background information and methodology for financial year ending 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
