Sirs, As a 77 year old Conservative don't you think it is about time the OAP's are given a pension that they can live on ?, some of us do not have any savings, only the house we live in, if we try better our situation by releasing capital tied up in the house we loose all benefits, we are banging our heads against a brick wall with this goverment.... remember 25% of voters are OAP's John
