RR 796 Quantitative Evaluation of the Pension Credit Payment Study
by Lucy Radford
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 analysis of the quantitative net impact of the estimated payments on subsequent Pension Credit take-up, and its cost-effectiveness. The qualitative report, published alongside, contains findings from research with participants which explored attitudes to this approach and reasons for subsequent Pension Credit take-up.
