Nana Akua RAILS against ‘out of touch’ Rachel Reeves treating PENSIONERS as ‘EXPENDABLE’

We pay for our own pension it’s not a benefit

[@paulwilliams5013]

Yes , that needs repeating, maybe, for our younger viewers...and MPs!

[@andylewis7360]

I paid my National Insurance for my entire working life and the Govt has had the benefit of that. So it’s the Govt that’s been on benefit from me. Not the other way round!

[@jennil7797]

I argued that when the DWP took my carers allowance off me. Just as my mother needed more help and I was getting older and weaker too, plus our income went down at the same time. When I questioned it, I was told the Carers Alowance and State Pension are crossover benefits and you can't have both. I had kept my mum out of the care system since I was a kid of 12, saving the nation hundreds of thousands of pounds, but only had Carers allowance for six years. I got no notice of my pension being delayed from age 60 to 66, got no notice that I was eligible for carers allowance until I was 59, have had a matter of weeks notice that I won't get a heating allowance from this year on because I have £3 a week to much income to claim pension credit. How are we supposed to plan for our future when we get no notice over governmental ( note the last five letters!) changes.

[@goffthomas2554]

@Jukilady We do pay for our pension but apparently it is not a right? Apparently!

[@SanderBelt-qz2ue]

Complete nonsense. The state pension is a benefit in legislation. Nobody pays for their own state pension, they pay for the current pensioners. Pretty simple to grasp.

[@joycegibbs5267]

I wish people would stop saying they’re out of touch. They’re not, it’s just THEY DON’T CARE !!!!

[@missmerrily4830]

i think it's a political decision to quietly cull the elderly. Seriously! Think about it. They can really reduce the cost of putting the NHS right by killing us 'accidentally' with a 'benefit' cut.

@december974 well said. I am sick and tired of hearing that too. Incidentally Universal Credit,which is a benefit, used to be called Social Security, having originally been called National Assistance, which is what it was, assistance given by the nation to those in need.
