Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 3 March 2021 to Question 157304 on Pension Credit: Publicity, how much the Government spent on promoting the uptake of pension credit in (a) 2017-18, (b) 2018-19 and (c) 2019-20.
The Department uses a wide range of channels to reach potential recipients; this includes some 11 million uprating letters currently being sent to State Pension recipients, alongside work with the BBC on their mailings and support with and from a range of other organisations. It is not feasible to undertake such an assessment with precision.
