Credit where it’s due: A briefing on low uptake of Pension Credit

Pension Credit is a vital benefit for older people, yet has had low levels of take-up for a decade. This short briefing sets out the issue, and highlights the key evidence around the impact of low Pension Credit take-up. It also contains Independent Age’s recommendations to the Government, primarily focused on the need for the Government to develop and publish a comprehensive action plan on how they will work to increase the uptake of Pension Credit.
