Increasing the Pension Credit threshold, so those surviving on only the New state pension (the poorest), do survive. Mainly women, who can only dream of being able to heat & eat. For the Old state pension there’s a higher PC threshold, via a collective (see below). #50sWomen

If you advocate to kill the triple lock 🙏🏻 also advocate for Govt to increase the pension credit threshold, so those surviving on only the New state pension (the poorest), do survive. Mainly women. There’s a higher PC threshold, via a collective, for the Old SP. #50sWomen

Thank you. Makes sense to me. To make this more palatable, please look at increasing the threshold for pension credit, so the very poorest, surviving on only the New state pension, do just that, survive. Mainly women. Don’t let Tory choices of denial continue to rule. #50sWomen

The full new state pension is set above the threshold for pension credit. The Conservatives ensured that. It leaves many, mainly women, in the most difficult of circumstances. The Threshold has not been set fairly, which is why the triple lock is so important. #50sWomen

Gordon if “That is pure rubbish” was to @KrisGibson13 there may be a misunderstanding. Unless it’s me doing that! Hope not. I believe she’d agree 💯. What she doesn’t agree with is Govts using the NIF for a purpose other than intended, eg to reduce the national debt. #50sWomen

It’s not what you said, but it’s what will happen. No fairness. Inequality will worsen. Your idea of wealthy pensioners, won’t be in accord with Govts’. Our SP is one of the worst in the OECD. We work longer for less. Govts have no fiduciary responsibility. We have no safety net.

🙏 don’t advocate for SP means testing. Thresholds won’t be fair as they aren’t for pension credit. It’s a mindset. More pushed into poverty; mainly women. Winter fuel payment was to be taken from those on income of £11,300. SP is a paid for right. #50sWomen more of the same?
