Re: Pension Credit
Can I start by saying that I am nearly 70 years old and own my own home.
I get a reduced state pension plus a small private pension. My water company has reduced the amount of my bill by 60% due to my circumstances (after seeing proof of my income).
Government both local and national seem intent on pushing me further down.
It would be nice if they followed the example of my water company and treated everyone equally.
Surely my generation deserves a helping hand when times are hard,
Pension Credit sounds fantastic, try claiming it, it’s a different story.
