Yes penalise the pensioner the poor pensioner on a pittance but can’t get pensions credit. Thanks Labour pay a doctor on 50,000 a mere £11,000 a year more. This is sickening.

Pension credits go to those people who have not been working or have been on benefits during their working years, so the Labour Party are penalising the hard working people from the private sector, with many of them having modest state pensions.

No welfare cap is effectively another tax.

Given labour's net zero policies and the implications this has for energy bills this is going to cause real problem for many pensioners, who will loose their energy bill help!

Every Labour government is the same. Tax and spend. The working people always end up poorer under labour. Labour no longer represents the working people.

They should recover the 38 billion which disappeared on Track and Trace during covid.
