Evaluation of Automatic State Pension Forecasts for the over-50s

Research Report No. 374

by Karen Bunt, Courtney Leo and Jane Barlow

Over 10 million Automatic State Pension Forecasts have been sent out since December 2004. This report evaluates the impact of the forecasts for the first two main recipient groups, men and women aged over 50. It looks in particular at levels of recall and readership of the forecast, and at the impact on pensions knowledge and retirement planning actions.
