A pensioner’s pension income is the sum of all pensions they receive. The graph presents the mean and median monthly pension income.
The next graph shows the evolution of the total number of pension recipients.
The number of pensioners is reported in total and by pension type. Individuals may receive more than one type of pension, so the sum across types exceeds the total number of pensioners.
The age distribution of pensioners shows their number across age groups.
New pension applications and decisions are monthly flows. The difference between applications and decisions is positive when new applications exceed decisions and negative when the reverse is true.
Pending applications are divided into overdue and non-overdue applications. Applications are classified as overdue when they have been pending for more than 90 days.
