Housing benefit rules discourage pension saving for older renters, says PPI
The report found that 330k pensioners who would be eligible for housing benefit lose or see their entitlement reduced due to private pension income.

The report found that 330k pensioners who would be eligible for housing benefit lose or see their entitlement reduced due to private pension income.

The 2026 survey will track changes in the lost pots landscape, looking at the number and value of lost pensions and their age distribution.
PPI estimated that 6% of the £3.2trn was invested in UK productive assets such as private equity, property and other alternatives, mainly led by DB schemes.

The report found that underpensioned groups still have lower employment rates and are more likely to be in part-time work compared to the population average.

PPI's new report highlighted the shift from DB to DC pension schemes over the past five decades which has transformed retirement planning.
