§ Mr. WebbTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will estimate the proportion of recipients of letters under his minimum income guarantee take-up campaign who are entitled to income support. [117870]
§ Mr. RookerAs part of the Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG) take-up campaign we will be writing to around 2 million pensioners whom our records suggest are most likely to have underlying entitlement. This targeted group will be pensioners who our pension records suggest have incomes below the MIG level. However, we142W do not know how many of these pensioners will have capital or other income that could affect their entitlement to benefit.
