Ethnic minority customers of the Pensions, Disability and Carers Service: an evidence review.

Abstract

The aim of this project was to review and synthesise available evidence that could throw light on: why Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) customers are less satisfied with the Pension, Disability and Carers Service (PDCS); why BME individuals eligible for the PDCS benefits are less likely to apply for them; what interventions might be successful at raising levels of take-up and satisfaction with PDCS services; and what important gaps exist in research evidence to answer these questions
