政府推翻了将支付与养恤金信贷挂钩的2024年规则,该规则导致83万份未报销的报销申请,专家指出,接受率一直很低,特别是在农村地区,如果所有符合条件的养恤金领取者都提出申请,每年可能增加4 000英镑的福利金。
The government reversed a 2024 rule that linked payments to Pension Credit, which had led to 830,000 missed claims, and experts note low take-up persists, especially in rural areas, with potential for an extra £4,000 annually in benefits if all eligible pensioners applied.
