answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2023 answer text <p>In addition to our ongoing Pension Credit communications campaign, in July we launched a more targeted ‘Invitation to Claim’ trial. Approximately 2,500 pensioner households across ten local authority areas in Great Britain were sent letters encouraging them to contact DWP and make a claim. The areas were chosen to be representative of urban, rural and coastal communities and target households were identified as most likely to be missing out because they were claiming Housing Benefit but not Pension Credit.</p><p> </p><p>The objectives of the trial are to learn whether using data in this way can help accurately identify eligible households; and whether directly contacting households in this way is an effective way of boosting Pension Credit applications.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 28/11/2023 11:04:25 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
