I am incandescent with excitement!!!!!

Only three years to go I can hardly contain my excitement. Better not mention it to the family or they will be looking for a treat.

Enjoy every penny of it!

It's all a con by a government of crooks. They will be claiming they've increased pensions next!

Pensions increased by 10% this year!
Pensions are still determined by the triple lock.

As for the 25p, it should be done away with, as should the £10 Christmas bonus. Both are useless but no doubt cost quite a bit of money over the country as a whole.

I would prefer that the Pension Credit was increased for those pensioners who qualify.

I'm 81, older, uglier and more in pain than I've ever been, but hey! I do get 25p to compensate. I should count my blessings. Ha! Ha!

I remember getting that 25p almost three years ago but it seems to have disappeared without trace into the black hole that is my bank account.

Just imagine if that 25p takes you over the tax threshold and you then become liable!

I don’t want to punch a hole in your excitement but don’t forget that the tax man will want his share 😂😂

Yes, and there is a pensioners special offer at lunch time. We might even run to a bottle of cola or a Fanta!

I decided to save mine foe a year and then treat myself to a cheap brand bottle of gin.

Last time I bought fish and chips for my grandson - it was £9. They might as well drop this 'increase' and the admin that goes with it. Think of the cost of sending all those letters - and the disappointment they cause must be elder abuse!

Is £13 going to be enough for fish and chips x two by the time you've saved it up for a whole year M0nica?

Thats what I did, work out the annual amount. Just about a cheap take out nite in..

You lucky bugger 🤢

Push the boat out and treat yourself to one of these...

In 1971 25p was worth £2.50 in today's money. Quite a difference.

DH saves his and buys himself an icecream or two in the summer.

I can understand your excitement. .
I've been getting this extra 25 pence for almost six years now and can honestly say it has (has not!!!) made a huge difference to my standard of living. Butter instead of margarine, for instance.
It's a huge responsibility, be careful how you spend it.
