Pension Benefits Entitlements

Mr Watts made this Freedom of Information request to Department for Work and Pensions

This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

If my only pension upon retirement is a state pension and I DO NOT OWN my own home will I be entitled to Housing Benefit to meet the rent payments and Council Tax Benefits to meet the Council Tax Demands.

I realise I am asking you to make a statement about an unknown date in the future so please base your response on the present entitlements for pensioners to benefits and normal state pension contracted in.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Watts
