I have extreme opionons on this. I will turn 65 on 28 December yhis year. And l have been told that my pension will start in January 2017.

Now the Gvernment paln to change this.

I find this totally appalling. I have paid into this Governments treasury all my life. I have had three periods of unemployments in that time.

But, there has been a survey of how people are living longer. My wife cannot retire for another three years.

I will NOT be able to survive on THAT pension, so therefore will have to continue to work. I cannot, and WILL NOT sit on my backside to keep my family in the 'pleasure ' of life.

This government should give people that retire over 65. A decent pension to live on.

Prices go up, yet nothing else.

My rent is £700.00 per month on social housing. My pension is £150.00 per week - which totals £600.00 which leaves £100 how can you survive on that.
