PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(21 February 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department is taking with Wokingham Borough Council to promote the uptake of pension credit.

Asked by:
Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

As part of our nationwide Pension Credit campaign, the Department has engaged with all councils in Great Britain, including Wokingham Borough Council, via the regular Local Authority Welfare Direct bulletins. In response to our call to action, 200 councils across Great Britain have supported our Pension Credit campaign either on social media, or by distributing the promotional material we have provided.

Wokingham Borough Council requested printed materials to share locally and has shared our messages through their social media channels, successfully signposting local people to Pension Credit information and resources. DWP has developed an ongoing relationship with their Communications Team and engaged with them recently, including in January as part of the Energy Savers Week Pension Credit campaign.
