..... and returning to my original post. Because of my pension increase of 25p per week my tax code has changed. I am now paying 30p more tax per week!!!
Sounds about right, we are ripped off every way we turn in this country.

I'm a pensioner too, and think we should pay for our bus passes. Just a modest amount for a year, but that would add up too. I read a snippet about the huge amount the Government has made from folk paying for International Driving permits in case we need them after Brexit, and they were only some £3.50 or so each.
I think they are so used to talking in billions that they forget the basics of good housekeeping.
I have only had mine for 3 months, don`t take it away yet!

I would think it is counter productive to get rid of the bus pass.
It enables mobility of older people, allowing otherwise sedentary types to get out and exercise. This in turn reduces the problems of many geriatric ailments and thus less pressure on the NHS.
We are very fortunate in having a regular bus service stop exactly outside our house and a 7 mile promenade along the seashore.
Depending upon the direction of the wind, we walk for 4 or 5 miles and then return by bus, or vice versa. It keeps the joints working.
The answer is more regular bus services, especially in rural areas and funding to encourage the wrinklies to get out of the house.
