Bring Back immediately State Pension for Women at 60. Men/Women Against Tax Allowance Loss From 65




Older people forced onto workfare when disabled and chronic sick will just end up spending most of their time at doctors or in hospital and may indeed die. Forced off benefits they cannot access cold weather payments and cannot access vouchers to food banks.

By raising the retirement age, the government burdened themselves with unemployment benefits with the over 60s, when they do not list the over 60s on unemployment statistics.

Not one penny in tax has been saved by raising the retirement age, because the state pension fund has been full for decades and cannot be emptied by government for general expenditure.

Loss of state pension is loss of food money and forced onto unpaid work, when do not have a bus pass.

Then there is the reality. Most of those going to food banks are in work. This will mean these older disabled and chronic sick being unable to get out to a food bank and rendered too ill by work.

Labour could do things differently in 2015 and end all Workfare, all benefits, all welfare reform admin, revoke Welfare Reform Act, Pension Bill and Flat Rate Pension, leave no-one to starve and pay off the national debt. Here is how:
