Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?Take it all, then live on State Pension., you can have Thousands in the Bank and still qualify. I realized back in the Eightys, that it was stupid to try and save, so I spent it all and now live quite comfortably on my State Pension and Benefits. God Bless god old GB.ViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?In the past four years my Pension has gone up each year by the smallest fraction, but my Pensions Credits has gone down. My Housing Benefit has gone down, my Rent has increased, but I have to pay £25 a Month out of my Pension. So how can the powers that be, say my income has kept up with Inflation, what a crock, especially as the cost of living has gone up by 20%. What would we do without good old LIDL's and ALDI's. They may not have as much choice as some of the so-called bigger Supermarkets, but they do have all I need to stay alive.ViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?Who do you think is paying for free Subscriptions in Scotland, certainly not thee Scots, they have destroyed their Coal Mining, Steel and Ship Building, because they were too greedy. Now all our enormous Liners are built abroad. We have to but Coal from as far away as Australia and much of our Steel comes from Japan.ViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?I see all the Scots have voted against you, so I ticked green, to help bring that down. Come on you English, change this vote around. What Hawke008 has said is entirely true, let them all stand on their own two feet.ViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?Yes you are right, but it was the Labour Party that allowed the American Bankers to operate in the UK, (how do you think Blair became a Millionaire ?), something all parties tried to stop until then. If you know anything about Banking, there is Wholesale and Retail. Up until then foreign Banks had not been allowed to operate on the High Street, to keep it all in the UK, then foreign Banks were allowed to go retail, on the high street, mostly Scottish Banks, the worst being RBS. The only Foreign Bank I would trust is Santander, because they are in Europe and come under European Laws, but not the Americans, as they are outside the EU.ViewDate:

Without these, England would not be in this enormous debt.ViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?Please remember, they inherited this mess from the previous Labour/Socialist Government, also remember this when you come to vote on Thursday, the same ones are still in charge, Miliband and Balls. The Conservatives, should make the Banks pay our huge debts, they caused this mess, not us ordinary people, most of whom have never had shares in a Bank, let alone seen one. !!ViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?All higher Pensioners should not be paid State Pension nor any other Benefits. This could be introduced on all with incomes over £30,000, to be reduced to the National average income over a five year period. As a retired Chauffeur, I can tell you, it irked me to see the 'better off' drawing Child Allowance, when we are told poorer Families, are finding it hard to feed their Children. This goes to all Benefits. The Benefits System was set up for those can, to help those who cannot. I have seen Elderly Ladies crying their eyes out, because they cannot afford to pay their phone bills Etc.,. The money saved by taking away from the top 30%, could be given to these old oldsters, to help them stay in their own homes. I could go on all day, but just to say I am a single Male on a basic State Pension, plus Benefits (which have gone down not up) who is quite happy with my income, but then I do not Smoke, nor do I drink, except having a Meal in a Restaurant, once in a while. Hope this helps,as I have always been able to help others, but not always myself, I have been Homeless three times now and none of the Pensioners Organizations could be bothered to help me???
