Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many payments her Department has made to Post Office card accounts in each of the last five months.
This question was answered on 20th September 2021
Month | Total |
Apr-21 | 701,400 |
May-21 | 654,500 |
Jun-21 | 596,600 |
Jul-21 | 543,900 |

Government payments into a Post Office card account do not reflect the number of customers as multiple payments can be made into an account during a month depending on varying pay dates of State Pension and benefits.
