In recent weeks there have been a series of attacks against universal
pensioner benefits, such as free bus travel and the winter fuel
allowance. Critics argue that pensioners have escaped the austerity
measures at the expense of young people, when in reality the only
ones who have escaped the cuts are the rich.
The headlines talk about taking benefits away from millionaire
pensioners, but means-testing the benefits would end up excluding
pensioners with incomes of little more than £10,000 a year.
Evidence shows that even after paying these universal benefits,
pensioners contribute an extra £40bn every year to the economy in
taxes, volunteering and unpaid care. What the critics don’t understand is
that pensioners still need these benefits because the UK has one of the
least adequate state pensions in Europe.
