Written question asked by Nigel Evans (Conservative) on Monday, 21 October 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 23 October 2019. It was answered by Guy Opperman (Conservative) on Tuesday, 29 October 2019 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Pensions: Uprating

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate her Department has made of the cost of uprating pensions for people who retired in EU27 states in 2018.

Answer

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost. Whilst we do not have this information readily available, the Department does publish figures on State Pension expenditure. The Department’s Benefit Expenditure and Caseload Tables can be found here:
