I have two words for you ACE, "Means Test."
Quote from: Nigel B on November 21, 2012, 22:49:37I have two words for you ACE, "Means Test."In this day and age where they are talking of restricting claiments to £500 a week. I have no worries of losing my perks. I've paid my dues, so no concience.Whoops nearly forgot, I am still paying my dues, taxing a pension, it's not really on is it.
The way I see it is those that earned more payed more tax and still do. So the more you paid in, the more you should be able to take out.
They should be working out the amount of the winter fuel allowance you are entitled to by how much you have paid in.
After all, the lower paid are used to scrimping and saving. Why should I lower my standard of living because some people could not get off their backsides to properly plan their retirements. . The amount is not much, my wifes deductions are double that amount in just one month. As it is p.a.y.e. she cannot salt it away in a tax haven.
the power companies are laughing all the way to the bank and £200 goes nowhere.
You do seem to hold a lot of resentment for a poor old boy who gets £200 every year,less than £4 a week.
