Our internal management information suggests there have been over 10,000 Pension Credit claims made during the week of the media day \u2013 an increase of 275% compared to the same week in 2021, which itself was an enhanced week due to the 2021 Pension credit Action Day.<\/p> <\/p> The impact of these claim volumes on numbers of successful awards and on Pension Credit take-up will take longer to establish given the usual cycle involved in producing those statistics. However, the campaign is ongoing including a particular focus on getting the private sector to drive forward efforts to enhance claims, and specific effort to reach out to communities who have traditionally not claimed pension credit. That work is very much ongoing.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
