The aim of this project was to explore the barriers to the take-up of benefits among black and minority ethnic older people. It also examined the different information needs and preferred modes of service delivery among these groups. Seven case studies were undertaken, each focused on a particular minority ethnic community in an area. The seven groups studied were the Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Chinese, African, African-Caribbean and Irish communities. Each case study involved interviews with staff in the local authority, local voluntary and community groups, and staff from The Department, as well as older people themselves. It should be noted the findings were gathered before The Pension Service local service was fully operational. Where experiences of the Department’s service are reported therefore they relate to the service prior to the introduction of The Pension Service or during the transition from the Benefits Agency to the Pension Service.
