Answer
It is not possible to provide poverty breakdowns at a constituency level. As such, no estimate has been made.
On 19 November, Secretary of State wrote to the Work and Pensions Select Committee to share internal government modelling produced by the Department outlining estimates of the number of pensioners in the UK estimated to move into poverty as a result of the policy change.
