Pension Credit

(asked on 7th November 2016) - View Source

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people receiving pension credit payments have deferred their state pension in the last 12 months.


This question was answered on 17th November 2016

The department does not hold information on those that have yet to claim their State Pension. Information on how many people receiving Pension Credit payments have deferred their State Pension is not available.

Any Pension Credit recipients who have deferred claiming their State Pension have the full value of that deferred State Pension taken into account on a pound for pound basis when calculating their entitlement to Pension Credit.
