Average UK pensioner ?407 per week

Minimum wage full time job 21 ?22,200

Bear in mind a pensioner will have add ons....like SAD or AA

I accept that not all pensioners will be on anything like ?407 but that's UK average.

Youngster will have much more expenses plus NI and will have had no time to build up savings......so why the discount at aulder age for match instead of younger.

Answers on a postcard.....to that's how it's always worked and that's how it will continue to work, Dens park, Dundee
