I'm 76 and my, so called, best friend of 12 years has recently ghosted me in favour of her neighbour! I even bought her a car that cost me £8,000! I've been a loyal and generous friend to her but now feel so used and lonely. At least I have my two dogs! 👍🇬🇧

It would be nice if a pensioner got a free usb device that did sparse network security work for British networks and slowly clocked up money which went into low risk trading plus shared donation after a few years the oap could like get £20 or so extra a month and that could slowly grow.

Good video but you can do all this yourself with your family and no need to pay someone something like£300 for just filling a form out on line. Go to .gov and read about power of attorney info and link to public records guardian, it cost me £82 you are only saying on the form who you want to act on your behalf you can save the form and return to it at any time no need to rush the form . Your Attorney is who you want to make decisions for you its not a solicitor it can be anyone you want. I nearly paid £300 for something i could do my self.

It's nice for the elderly to feel they have a choice, I only hope they are able to maintain their good health because with the state our NHS is in, it's plain criminal that they are likely to be left waiting a stupid amount of hours for an ambulance before being admitted into hospital and end up on a trolley in a corridor. I wonder if the Government that gave them that was worth their vote.

I was the sole carer at home for my wife who had dementia. There was little or no help from local council , all they seamed to want was to take our home away from us. Since she died end of February there has been no help what so ever. It is real lonely even though i have reasonable health , my hobbies and my best friend a little dog and my son who lives a long way away . Funny how people simply disappear after the funeral

This Government makes us out to be 'scroungers' That we are a 'Burden' on Society. They give us far less than the 'Living Wage' to survive on.We have in the main, worked for around fifty years . some longer than that, Have we not 'paid our dues' over that time. They ant us deprived so we expire quicker! Then they can claim mire for themselves!
@HelenWinter-mx7jk6 ай бұрын
I have been disappointed by how little Age UK has done regarding this, and previous governments', failure to reform the care system, or to draw attention to the way tge system deliberately impoverishes disabled people and their families. Most publicity relates to the loss of inheritance if a person has to sell their house to pay for care. The public don't realise that someone who has worked and accrued a private pension is expected to use up their savings and then continue paying from their pension, with no safety net to cover e.g. House repairs, probably for the rest of their expected lifespan This puts the additional strain of financial worry upon the carer, on top of the anxieties about health and wellbeing, and lack of opportunities for recreation etc. There should be a public outcry about this and a properly organised campaign.

Excellent, well done. I would like to see an additional point about transport. For those of us not city-based (Kent) bus services have been reduced or withdrawn significantly over the last 5 years. In making decisions councils rarely coordinate even within their own services for example bus reductions do not take into account reduced library hrs, a double cut and even more isolation.

We don't need to be paying tax on our state pensions for a start. Also, if we want better care provision then we need to pay carers a better wage. Ny granddaughter works in a care home and she'd get a better hourly rate if she worked in a supermarket. One last thing, nobody should have to sell their house to pay for care.

Getting an appointment with a GP has become ridiculous. One could see the point at the height of COVID but now, when you phone in (at 8 am) you are told there are no appointments left and to try again tomorrow; Groundhog Day anyone! And yet, if you go into the local health centre, there is hardly anyone waiting; I wonder how many people who make an appointment fail to turn up!

Thank you Rosie. Pensioners being 'unfairly treated' rings true in so many areas. I only recently discovered that those of us born before 1950 not only have to find higher NI contribution years to receive a full 'old' state pension, but, for women, who incidentally will require 39 NI years, any applicable HRP years will not get a full 1/39th for each HRP year, but, due to the method of calculation will have a few pounds shaved off each week. This will amount to multiple thousands over their retirement years. Shameful.

I and my husband would like to see the BBC TV Licence abolished for people over 70. We hardly ever watch the BBC channels and rely heavily on freeview thank heavens for that at the moment. We cannot afford to pay subscriptions for the likes of Sky etc, So what are we paying for? We do not go out much and the TV is our only escape.

In my opinion, The most important need for elderly people is surely a Good Health Service. Unfortunately it's a part of growing old that your body degenerates(some more than others, but it's sadly natural). The NHS, from G.P to Hospital is becoming a shambles. G.P. Appointments...face to face, are conspicuous by their absence in my area! Haven't set eyes on my GP since BEFORE Covid. Quite convenient for the NHS in my opinion. If you can't get a diagnosis, how on earth can you get a Consultation, consequently all I see are EMPTY hospitals. Go look for yourself. A & E may be FULL, but there's a definite decline in what used to be Clinical Waiting areas. Cost Saving of course.

We need a designated person to oversee the needs of elderly people. We have donated money by our work ethic and contributed to this country by our sacrifes in the previouss wars. It is not charity to help us, it is paying back all that has been given. We deserve as much care and attention that is given top people who are knew to this country. Charity begins at home.

There are so many issues that only a government can help with. Modern medicine is keeping us alive longer, but we are not necessarily enjoying that life. The Government, the NHS and local councils need to help us have a better level of enjoyment, considering housing, food costs, health aids, travel aids and aids to self help. I realise that I am unlikely to live to see much improvement but I would hope that the trend can start with the incoming government and, if Age UK can give the wheel a bit of a turn then, good on you.
