AA or SAD can be given to multi millionaires, it hasn't anything to do with company pension schemes.Quote:

All things being equal I'd rather have more young fans in the ground even if attendances dropped for a bit.
The boring defensive tactics being employed by Steven Pressley will result in non season ticket holders giving Dundee FC home games a miss as they are not prepared to spend their money purchasing a ticket for a home game.Quote:

Hopefully, someone will see how the success of the Youth system could be more helpful in bringing youngsters into Dens.Quote:

It's irrelevant if she works or stops working.Quote:

There's a care component and a mobility component......you can receive one component or both components.
Care lower rate ....?73.90
Care higher rate....? 110.40
Mobility lower rate ..? 29.20
Mobility higher rate..? 77.05
If she is over state pension age she can claim Pension Age Disability ( Scotland's attendance allowance)
There's only one component.
Lower rate .....?73.90
Higher rate.....? 110.40
This is currently what the Scottish Govt is currently advertising on the telly.
Your Mrs claim would be around 38 pages long......although I think this has been reduced in Scotland.
The claim isn't really linked to her COPD it's about how her COPD effects her daily life....ie there's not a list of illnesses or conditions that automatically qualify.
All of the above rates are weekly.
And it's why I keep banging on about the elderly getting into the match for less Dosh than a young adult.
All of the above is tax free.
Oh and ALL of the above would evaporate if the Scottish Govt had to pay for it.
That's all pretty scandalous to be fair.
She's too proud to claim any benefits but I'll maybe ask her to think about it. Get some of the money back that I've spent on fags for her over the years.
372,000 Scottish pensioners receive disability benefits, there's just over a million Scottish pensioners.Quote:
