This Briefing Note updates earlier work published by the Institute for Fiscal Studies on the pension credit in the light of the new details concerning the policy's operation that the government announced in November 2001. Section A summarises our earlier work, which explained why the pension credit was being introduced. Section B investigates the new announcements that the government made in November. Section C updates our modelled estimates of the distributional and incentive effects of the policy in the light of the new announcements. Section D concludes.
