Pension Credit

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Pension Credit applications have been made in each region since 29 July 2024.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

On 28 November we published national Pension Credit applications and award statistics. This publication provides application volumes from 29 July 2024 to 17 November 2024. Pension Credit applications and awards: November 2024 - GOV.UK

These statistics show that 150,000 Pension Credit claims were received between 29 July 2024 and 17 November 2024.

Please note, the figures presented are from DWP’s Pension Credit system which has previously been collected for internal departmental operations use only and has not been quality assured to Official Statistics publication standards.

We do not currently hold data at a regional level.
