State Pensions: Pension Credit

Table 11: Take-up of households receiving different types of Pension Credit, 2017/18[1]

[1] DWP (2018) Income-Related benefits: estimates of take-up in 2017/18. Estimates of the number of entitled non-recipients have been annualised.  Estimates of the number of households receiving Pension Credit will differ from those in Table 10 as they use a different data source and refer to a different time period.

[2] Figures rounded to the nearest 10,000

[3] The numbers of actual households differs from the numbers actually claiming in Table 10 because they use a different source for consistency with the numbers of households eligible

[4] A range exists to take into account the uncertainties of the estimates
