To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many pensioners have lost entitlement to Pension Credit as a result of their calculated entitlement being short by 50p or less.
Answer
Answered by Torsten Bell, 27 Oct 2025
The Department does not hold information about the total income and circumstances of all pensioners. That is why we ask people to apply for pension credit rather than being able to make awards automatically.
