Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Torsten Bell)

The Government are committed to ensuring that all pensioners receive the support to which they are entitled. That is why we have been running the biggest ever pension credit take-up campaign. We plan to continue promotional activity from September through to the end of this financial year, with the focus not just on eligible pensioners but on their friends and family too.
