Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in (a) Ceredigion, (b) Wales and (c) the UK are not eligible for the new state pension due to having less than 10 years of National Insurance contributions.
This question was answered on 6th November 2017
The new State Pension was introduced for those persons reaching State Pension age on, or after, 6th April 2016. Our latest data on the number of qualifying years people have are for the 2015/16 financial year, so we do not yet have any data on the numbers of people reaching State Pension age under the new State Pension with less than 10 years of National Insurance contributions.
