Pension Credit
Asked by: Lord Davies of Brixton (Labour - Life peer) Monday 21st October 2024 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask His Majesty's Government, following the introduction of means-testing for the Winter Fuel Payment, what administrative arrangements they are making to deal with any increase in claims for Pension Credit; what assessment they have made of the impact of an increase in claims for Pension Credit on the processing of existing claims; and how many current civil servants are being redeployed and how many additional staff are being employed to handle an increase in claims for Pension Credit. Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) The Department has secured funding for additional staffing to assist with the processing of the additional Pension Credit claims being made. We have recently published Weekly Pension Credit claims received from 1 April 2024 to 22 September 2024 - GOV.UK www.gov.uk which provides the number of Pension Credit claims received by the department. We are deploying over 500 additional staff to cover the expected increase in Pension Credit applications and will endeavour to process claims as soon as possible.

24 Oct 2024
Economic inactivity: welfare and long-term sickness Economic Affairs Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee is launching an inquiry into the relationship between the welfare system and long-term sickness in Great Britain, as a follow up to its 2022 inquiry into economic inactivity. Rates of economic inactivity – measured as a proportion of people of working age – fell steadily from 2012, reaching an all-time low of 20.7 per cent in early 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic saw a sudden and dramatic reversal of this trend with rates of long-term sickness becoming an increasingly important factor as the pandemic wore on. The Committee is seeking to understand the impact, if any, that changes in the benefits system have had on trends in long term sickness and inactivity. The Committee will hear views on what is being done in this area, and what should be done, to mitigate elevated levels of long-term sickness-related inactivity and the associated rising costs of welfare.
