State Retirement Pensions
(asked on 26th October 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in (a) the UK and (b) resident in overseas countries over the age of 100 received the state pension in each of the last three years; and how many such people lived in each such overseas country in each of those years.
DWP does not hold information on the number of people over the age of 100 who live in each overseas country.
The table below shows the information requested for numbers aged 100 or over recorded on our State Pension administrative data as of February 2014, 2015 and 2016.
Please note these figures will include dormant cases where no State Pension is in payment but their cases have not been fully closed. This will happen when, for example, the Department has lost touch with a customer or does not have a validated date of death. These cases are suspended, with no payments being made, rather than being completely closed. It is not possible for us to identify and remove these cases from the centrally held figures below.
