My Lords, the Government's MIG take-up campaign has so far resulted in over 82,000 successful claims. A follow-up exercise started in the week of 5th March to encourage claims from pensioners who might become eligible due to this April's increase in the MIG capital limits should again bring in more claims. To date, the campaign has cost approximately £9 million.
