(asked on 7th November 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will provide additional funding to help support pensioners with the cost of living in Northern Ireland.
This question was answered on 14th November 2023
Support for pensioners is a transferred matter in Northern Ireland and the responsibility of the Department for Communities.
However, in the absence of a fully functioning Northern Ireland Assembly, the UK Government has taken decisive action to ensure that the means tested and disability Cost of Living payments are made to households in Northern Ireland on exactly the same terms as the rest of the UK.
