Answered by Torsten Bell
Data on Pension Credit receipt is not available at a post code level. The Department regularly makes Pension Credit statistics publicly available on Stat-Xplore - with the following geography breakdowns: Region, Local Authority, Parliamentary Constituency, Census Output Area and Ward.
Data on those waiting for their Pension Credit claim to be assessed is not available at a post code level. The latest available data on Pension Credit claims and awards covers England, Scotland and Wales, and was published in November 2024: Pension Credit applications and awards: November 2024 - GOV.UK
