Pension credit

I totally agree with you watermeadow, my pensions are the same as yours, nothing extra at all, and I'm on my own.
I'm quite happy for people to receive pension credit but why are they given so many extras, the list is endless. I'd love some help with my high energy bills, some extra loft insulation maybe, TV licence, dentist, spectacles etc etc but don't qualify for anything.

I am sorry, but my response may be hard, but there have to be cut off points, and when they occur they are unfair for those just on or above the cut off point.

I have often thought about this in many contextx, but I cannot think of a solution. It is something that comes up in so many contexts. When people cease to receive a benefit, means tested (like PC), or anything else, there is a group just on and above the line who suffer.

If you can think of a solution for making these cut-off points fairer, you should qualify for a Nobel Prize.
