Benefits of reaching 80

I hope you are prepared for the extra payment from the government when you reach this age. At the present time it is 25p a week, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. I just can't understand the thinking behind this - it makes no difference to anyone and can't be worth the paperwork. It just angers the majority of us older folk.

there, that's off my chest!

Ha, well I'll be 81 in four weeks time. Pension service reminded me of it this week as it's added to increases in benefits letter. It's unbelievably stupid and why didn't they realise it would only serve to show how out of touch they are. do they know what you can do with 25p ? there is an answer, lol.

Its a stupid sum as you said not worth the paper they inform you on, if you saved it for a month you still can not buy a coffee or a sticky bun. It got to make you smile really xx Fred :)
