It would be really cheering if a simple system could be organised for paying these benefits to those who need them. Means testing should not be employed as this is going to cost.
I like Elegran's fund idea and also FlicketyB's increase of pension.
The tax office is fully aware of peoples incomes by the tax paid. Perhaps a line could be drawn in a certain place, in excess of which, certain benefits are not paid.
I know that many will not agree with this as they'll say that they have paid in all their life. Remember, there are some pensioners, who have more money than they are able or want to spend. For this reason I am thinking that some of us should show a little compassion for others - if we can afford to.
