Hackey is correct (for once) Reeve’s policy is a sound one, but the cut off point needs looking at. They should do the same thing with the outdated Child Benefit, which ends up paying for a lot of Interrailing and Skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used mine to pay for some flights to go abroad at Easter. Why did I need that £400? Same applies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider myself centre left, certainly a pensioner, and have no interest in self loathing. No I probably shouldn't get a winter fuel allowance, though I think the limits have been set too low.

They're entitled to, as has been said before, a lot of rich pensioner's money is in their property. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolutely true; living in a house that has increased in value because of soaring property prices doesn't mean you have a lot of money in the bank.

That's why the one in four pensioners are millionaires statistic is nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
