The specific information requested on basic state pension payments is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

The Department publishes quarterly State Pension caseload figures by grouped amount of benefit and Parliamentary Constituency. This data, available to November 2020, can be found at: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/

Guidance on how to extract the information required can be found at: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/Getting-Started.html

The Department also publishes annual benefit expenditure tables and the latest publication by parliamentary constituency is for 2019/20 and available at: Benefit expenditure and caseload tables 2020 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
