The minefield of officialdom and claiming or getting information on things across the board, can present difficulties and even stress for them.

What I find also unbelievable and despicable, from Reeves, is the admission that it's KNOWN there's at least 800,000 pensioners who SHOULD be claiming and getting pension credit but who are not.
At least 800.000 could really mean over a million.

So for me it's plain wrong to implement any policy of withdrawal of support, when you know everyone who should still be getting it, is not.
Until you know all who should be receiving it, WILL BE, then you should not be making changes to it.
That is disgraceful.

My mother worked on computers before she retired and my Dad has a real interest, he's an avid Googler, but I know they're not the norm and lots of elderly people have no idea about them. It's good that there are people willing to help.

If they know how many people should be claiming they surely should be approaching them?
