I didn’t notice it in the article - does anyone have detail as to why pensioners who are entitled to the pensioners credits aren’t receiving them?
A big reason for this disastrous outcome is that more than one in three pensioners entitled to Pension Credit, the qualifying benefit for WFP under this proposal, don’t receive it, a proportion that’s been roughly constant for many years
Absolutely not doubting the validity of this report and the potential impact. I am just not understanding why the people who are entitled to a benefit are not receiving it? If this credit then enables the recipients to get WFP, could AgeUK or some other agency assist these people with applying for it?
