The latest Pension Credit take-up statistics are due for publication on 24 February and will be available on https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/income-related-benefits-estimates-of-take-up--2. These will cover the financial year 2019/20.

The estimates for financial year 2018/19 show take-up has increased, not fallen.
