While a lot of fuss is being made about the winter fuel payment being snatched away from pensioners, and the triple lock, there is something which is not being considered.
For those of us who are of the Real Generation Rent, the most important issue to consider is rent inflation.
That is why pension increases should be based upon yearly rent inflation.
Meanwhile the 25% reduction in council tax needs rethinking as it discriminates again single pensioners.
Long term it should be viewed in relationship to the ongoing housing crisis, and the curtailment of social care/ social housing options for older people.
