Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for the number of pensioners with an annual income of between £15,000 and £20,000.

We estimate that the number of pensioner units with an annual income of between £15,000 and £20,000 is approximately 1.5 million. This number has been rounded to the nearest 100,000.

This estimate is based on Pensioners’ Incomes data derived from the Family Resources Survey and covers private households in the United Kingdom.

A pensioner unit can be a single pensioner over State Pension age, a pensioner couple where one member is over State Pension age, or a pensioner couple where both members are over State Pension age.
