James Purnell The number of single pensioners and pensioner couples receiving pension credit in 2006-07 for each ward in the London boroughs of Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea is in Tables 1 and 2. The earliest year for which we are able to provide information on the number of single pensioners and pensioner couples by ward is 1999. This information for the minimum income guarantee, which replaced income support for pensioners in May 1999 is provided in Tables 3 and 4. Table 5 contains the total numberof single pensioners and pensioner couples in receipt of income support in the London boroughs of Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea in 1997-8.
