Data led Pension Credit take up campaigns

Unclaimed Pension Credit

The DWP estimates that £1.7 billion of Pension Credit went unclaimed by up to 1 million pensioner households in the financial year 2021/22. 

Widespread, non-targeted campaigns are useful for generating awareness but can see take up rates as low as 5%. Using our Low Income Family Tracker (LIFT) local authorities can use their administrative data to identify low-income households who are missing out on Pension Credit and a range of other benefits such as TV licence and Winter Fuel Payment.

Local authorities making an impact

Islington Council and Folkestone and Hythe District Council boosted Pension Credit take-up by 39% and 44% respectively using LIFT for data-led campaigns. The total value of Pension Credit our clients have secured across nine local authorities in the South East is currently £1,905,720. Read more here.

We’re going all out to promote Pension Credit, knowing how important this extra support, worth on average over £3,300 per year, could be for pensioners across the country. It’s great to see the excellent work Local Authorities are doing to boost take-up in their areas. We’re also calling on everyone with retired family, friends and loved ones to check in with them and see if they could be eligible.

Guy Opperman, Minister for Pensions

Maximise the take-up of Pension Credit nationwide

Based on our analysis across 33 local authorities, we believe if a data-led analytics campaign were applied nationwide it would increase take-up of Pension Credit by £300m, improving the financial situation of 100,000 pensioners within six months.

Our LIFT platform can use your revenues and benefits data to precisely identify the number of households who are eligible for Pension Credit and not yet claiming it. We can help you to reach out to these residents with a targeted campaign, that usually results in a take-up rate of one third. 

Use the Search button below to search for your local authority name and see the additional income you can expect to achieve* from a data-led campaign to help protect people from the rising cost of living in your area.

* Calculations are based on analysis of February 2022 StatXplore data showing the value of Pension Credit take up opportunity by local authority. Using the local authority’s own datasets usually results in higher numbers.
