Couples who claim Pension credit will lose thousands a year under measures sneaked out quiely while we were all watching Brexit. If you know someone where one partner is not of pension age they will get Universal credit instead of Pension credit and it will be less. It's another disgusting government cut for the poorest.

I’ve met women on the WASPI demos who are in desperate straits, some unable to work by dint of their health, caring commitments or simply because employers are not queuing up to employ 64 year olds. Some of these, those already ashamed to be forced to live off their husbands’ - or sometimes even their parents’ - pensions, will be the sort of people hit hardest by this.
