I DISAGREE with B and M Duffell - Labour has been very good to pensioners. This year, I have received £100 to help with my council tax, free TV licence worth £121 and £200 winter fuel payment.

I am grateful not to have to wait for five consecutive cold days before being given a pittance as it was in the past.

I know of many people who have benefited from the Pension Credit and now I read that there is a Pension Protection Fund being planned that will step in and pay out pensions when employers go bust and a £400m fund to help those who have already lost out.

All in all I am very pleased with what Labour have done for pensioners. I am sure I speak for many.

REG PRICE,

Worcester.
