It is not feasible to undertake this comparative assessment.

The latest estimates of Pension Credit take-up relate to the financial year 2018/19 and are representative of the GB population.

Estimates of take up of income related benefits can be found in the following publication: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/income-related-benefits-estimates-of-take-up-financial-year-2018-to-2019
