State Retirement Pensions: British Nationals Abroad
(asked on 6th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people over 100-years old receive the UK state pension in each country outside the UK.
The table below provides a response to your question from DWP’s State Pension administrative data on the number of State Pension recipients aged over 100 years old. There are known issues with the quality of this data due to historical operational processes which mean that some cases remain on the administrative data although they are no longer in payment. Additional management information held within the department indicates that the in-payment caseload for Yemen in particular is much lower than that presented below.

Caseload figures have been rounded to the nearest 10.
Caseloads identified with ‘-‘ are negligible, but non-zero.
Caseloads in WPLS can include suspended cases which are no longer in payment.
Note:
- DWP has reviewed the operational process for keeping records no longer in payment on the system and improvements are underway to close down these cases.
