Pensioners: Social Security Benefits
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking with the devolved Administrations to help increase awareness among pensioners of benefits they may be entitled to.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
This Government remains completely committed to supporting pensioners and giving them the dignity and security they deserve in retirement.
DWP uses a wide range of channels including information on Gov.uk, in letters, leaflets and via telephone to communicate information to older people about pensioner benefits, including how to claim, and signposts to devolved provision where appropriate. Where there is devolved provision for pensioner support, the Devolved Governments provide their own information and communications.
