I have an issue with the state pension being called a benefit ,fair enough it comes from the benefits budget but that doesn't mean it is a benefit imo .I'm sure most people on state pension would object to being classed as a benefit claimant after they have worked all their lives avoided claiming benefits and paid into the pension .
