chartpolski 23,046 Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Just now, iworkwhippets said: sorry Ritch, im not with you , pension credit, and attendance allowance ,two different benefits Sorry mate, my mistake, but the same advice applies to Attendance Allowance. Speak to Age UK and they will do a benefit check for you and if you qualify they will arrange for the relevant government department to do the application on the ‘phone. It takes about 20-30 minutes and they will make a decision then and there. Some years ago when the job centres were closing down and going on line, I did three month pro bono work teaching claimants how to create a c.v. and an email address and write things like covering letters. I was both amazed and saddened at how many people were missing out on benefits and didn’t know help was available. Labour have just prevailed in the vote to take away the Winter Heating Allowance. I thought immediately of the biblical prophesy about the End Of Days; Day will become night, black will become white”. Labour voting to have old British people die of cold and hunger, while the Tories voted to help the pensioners ! It’s not the world I was born into ….

It's rich v poor and always has been. It's just more obvious to some of us now. Cutting pensions was an easy option because many of us will be dead come the next election and we have no power.

There's no party to vote for. And if there were it would be crushed by 'dark forces". We end up voting for what we think is the lesser evil. And then we realise we've been fooled. It will be interesting to see if any progress has been made in improving public services at the end of this Parliament. Blair and Brown did restore health and education spending to the level of other European nations. As a result outcomes for patients were as good as France and Germany.The same was true of Education spending.( Doubters check the figures) Let's see if Starmer and Reeves can match that. And also restore NHS dentistry and fix the Social Care system. Affordable housing for the young is also a priority. Let's see if they can avoid engagement in another dodgy war like Bliar, avoid upsetting the balance of power in the Middle East and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of civilians. That would be good. Not too much to ask. I'm not holding my breath. Edited September 10 by jukel123 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
