Getting really tired of these ill informed comments, and in future they will be removed. |

energy price guarantee - everyone gets this, not just "baby boomers"
the energy bills support scheme - everyone gets this, not just "baby boomers"
the winter fuel payment - not eligible this year
pensioner cost of living payment - not eligible
So, from this budget, the only difference between me and everyone else will be £18 per week in six months time - "golden"?
Perhaps "one size fits all" generalisations may not be as accurate as you may believe…

Keep your hair on loves I was trying to be positive. The Government is being criticised endlessly and few acknowledge the good things they’re doing. And even if you’re not getting the full benefit now, you can look forward to the future. The Government has made provision for seniors; it’s not their fault if you’re too young to have all the benefit now but keep yer peckers up eh?
