RR 795 Qualitative evaluation of the Pension Credit payment study
by Natalie Maplethorpe, Mehul Kotecha and Sue Arthur
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) recently ran a study which used data held by the Department to pay a random sample of individuals their estimated Pension Credit entitlement, for a short period, without them having first claimed. Final evaluation findings are published in two reports. This publication contains findings from qualitative research with participants which explored attitudes to this approach and reasons for subsequent Pension Credit take-up. The quantitative report, published alongside this one, provides the net impact of the estimated payments on subsequent Pension Credit take-up.
