Housing Benefit and Pension Credit: Telford
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many pensioner households claimed (a) pension credit and (b) housing benefit in Telford in each year since 2010.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
Quarterly statistics on pensioners who receive a) pension credit and b) housing benefit from quarter ending February 2010 to quarter ending February 2024 are published on Stat-Xplore.
Housing benefit can be broken down by age group prior to April 2018 and from April 2018 onwards, it can be broken down by working age or pension age.
