Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the number of eligible pensioners in Lancashire who have not claimed Pension Credit in the most recent year for which data is available.

The latest available Pension Credit take-up statistics for Great Britain cover the financial year 2022 to 2023 and are available at: Income-related benefits: estimates of take-up: financial year ending 2023 - GOV.UK. The next edition of the Pension Credit take-up statistics will be released between September and October 2025. Statistics are only available at Great Britain level and cannot be broken down to smaller geographical areas.
