Screenshot of a UK Parliament webpage titled ‘Transition to State Pension age’ under the Work and Pensions Committee. The page displays the following inquiry text: ‘The last time the State Pension age went up there was a jump in the number of pre-pensioners (people aged 60+ but below pension age) in poverty. This group are the joint poorest among working age adults. We are launching this inquiry to consider the case for providing additional support for people in the pre-pensioner age group to bridge the income gap as the State Pension age starts to rise from 66 to 67 in April.’ A link at the bottom reads: ‘Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry

Unless you have even the tiniest private pension.
The #StatePension (plus Pension Credit which you get if you have no other income) isn’t a lot to live on.

The tax threshold is frozen at £12,570
The #StatePension in April will be £12,548 and if that’s all someone has they’ll received #PensionCredit taking it over the threshold.
Although this will not be taxable, however anything over (even £1) of other income will be taxed.

Because the #StatePension is currently only £998pcm (could you live on that?)
Council Tax where I live is £110 (Band A, £128 for B) for a single person

rises..... Increase in retirement age..... Unaffordable costs of #StatePension ......

You could be forgiven for believing that there is not one bit of joined up thinking or any actual plan to deal with these issues!

Extra #DefenceSpending will act as boost for #ScienceandTechnology, there may be reductions in #businessgrants, finding savings in various budgets, fewer children are expected, so could be economies in #SchoolsBudget, maybe #StatePension uprating could be aimed at long term changes in #GDPperCapita.
