AnnotationThe current generation of people of pension age is the most affluent ever, following a continued rise in their average income from occupational pensions and benefits. However, in 2000/01, some 2 million pensioners were living in low-income households. This report examines the action taken by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), both on their own and with others, to tackle the barriers to take-up of entitlements by pensioners. (RH).
