Today I asked a question in Work and Pensions Questions regarding benefit entitlement awareness.
Rob Roberts Conservative, Delyn
With take-up of entitlements such as pension credit and attendance allowance sitting at about 60% nationally, what material does my hon. Friend have to increase awareness of the benefits locally, and thus increase the number of claimants?
Guy Opperman The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
My hon. Friend is right to raise that important point. We already publicise pension credit as much as we can, but we are working hard to get material into jobcentres and local authority premises to ensure that take-up is as high as possible.
