Free Offer to Identify Pension-Age Residents Missing Out on Pension Credit

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) recently published that Pension Credit applications have increased by 152% after the benefits take-up campaigns launched by both national and local governments. This demonstrates the positive impact of these campaigns in helping households receive the benefits they are eligible for and ultimately improving their financial resilience.

Local authorities are key to these benefits take-up campaigns. They use the data they already have about their residents to identify those missing out on Pension Credit.

We offer a free service to make it easier and more efficient for councils to identify pension-age residents missing out on Pension Credit and Winter Fuel Payments.

How we can help

Local authorities use our data analytics tool to process Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction data, identifying residents missing out on Pension Credit. This web analytics tool provides:

  • Detailed information on residents’ personal circumstances and financial situation.
  • A snapshot of Pension Credit eligibility and those missing out.
  • Detailed ward and street-level data to guide your outreach efforts.

We also provide all the tools for safe and simple data sharing, including a data anonymisation tool, a Data Sharing Agreement, a DWP MOU template letter, and a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

Our Offer

We’re offering our data analytics tool free of charge to support local authorities in their data-led Pension Credit benefit take-up campaigns. With this offer, local authorities can answer the following questions and start their Pension Credit campaign:

  • How much Pension Credit are my residents missing?
  • In which wards do these residents live?
  • Who are the residents missing Pension Credit?

This free offer includes the initial data upload and configuration for the Pension Credit take-up campaign, plus a one-hour training session to help you make the most of the analytics dashboard. Local authorities will have unlimited access to the dashboard, and we can set it up in less than 24 hours.

We’re already partnering with many local authorities to support their benefits take-up campaigns, and this is what one of our clients has to say:

"I cannot recommend working with Inbest enough. The dashboard was excellent, and the mapping has been well received by my elected members."
