It has to go fairly soon. Pensions are costing a bomb already and the social case for continuing it in the context of austerity on those of working age, and how much better pensioners and those nearing pensionable age have done than other ages over the past years in terms of income growth, home ownership growth, disposable income and other things.
It makes no sense for pensioners to have to help their kids out while simultaneously receiving more generous welfare and non-means tested benefits.
