It also examines the position of single pensioners and pensioner couples, including any dependent children, within the income distribution of the population as a whole. This differs from Households Below Average Income (HBAI) (see SNs 5828 and 7196), where analysis is on a household basis, and includes the income of adults not in the pensioner unit but living in the same household. The PI undertakes a few extra steps beyond the FRS and HBAI data to derive pension income variables.The PI series is a key source of information used to inform Government thinking on relevant policies and related programmes and projects. Researchers and analysts outside the government use statistics and data to examine topics such as ageing, the distributional impacts of fiscal policies, and pensioner groups' income profiles. The PI estimates are usually based on a sample of around 7,000 adults over State Pension age, who reside in private households in the United Kingdom, taken from the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=200017">Family Resources Survey</a> (FRS). The gov.uk <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/pensioners-incomes-series-statistics--3">Pensioners' Incomes Statistics</a><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/pensioners-incomes-series-statistics--3"></a> webpage contains annual reports, accompanying tables, research, and technical papers.PI data are also available from 1994/95 onwards via the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) <a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/jsf/login.xhtml" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Stat-Xplore online tool</a>.Secure Access PI dataThe Secure Access version of the PI series (SN 9257) is available from 2007/08 onwards, whereas the standard End User Licence (EUL) data (SN 8503) are available from 2008/09. Unlike the EUL versions, the ages of the head of household and spouse have not been top-coded at 80 years in the Secure Access version. Prospective users of the Secure Access version must fulfil additional requirements beyond those associated with the EUL datasets. The Secure Access version of FRS is held under SN 9256, and the Secure Access version of HBAI is available under SN 7196. Latest edition information For the 7th edition (April 2025), data and documentation for 2023/24 were added to the study.Main Topics: Variables cover household and demographic information, with incomes from a range of sources (pensions, benefits, savings and investments, and any earnings from work).
