Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many claims for Pension Credit were made in each month since January 2022; and how many and what proportion of these new claims were successful.

Estimates of the number of Pension Credit claims since January 2022 are available in four-weekly groupings. Data on the number and proportion of Pension Credit claims that lead to successful awards are not available. This management information has not been subjected to the usual standard of quality assurance associated with official statistics but are provided here in the interests of transparency.
