Will they though? I dont really know what the cut off point is but I think if you have a small private pension you wouldnt be eligible for pension credit, just going by my aunt she has a private pension she is not entitled to anything, first it was the TV licence, now winter fuel will be taken away and as she is over 80 it was worth 300. I assume prescriptions will be next and then free travel. I think they should have tapered it, obviously there are wealthy pensioners but some are just about managing.
