I got caught in the pension trap when I had pension credit, I was hovering around the in or out amount of money to live on so only got a few quid a month but of course its all the other things that go with it that helps.
I lost the credit when my wife became a pensioner because it took my household over the limit.
All these things are set to a rate just above benefit and income rates so very few people qualify.
When they stop PC they also stopped my wife’s Carer Allowance because of her state pension but gave her a letter saying she was still my carer but won’t be paid. Very kind of them.
