Govt plans to save £500bn!!!

[Doggy Styles]

The current rules on getting "the sick" are so messed up that my sister who has multiple sclerosis has just been passed fit to work. Just who is going to employ a 55 year old who has not worked for 25 years, has trouble walking, standing, can't use a computer etc etc? It just means she will get job seekers instead, and as she has some savings she inherited then she can't get housing benefit, council tax benefit etc

Agreed, there are many anomalies and bad regulations that need sorting out, but that's regardless of the age at which people can start drawing their state pension.

Civil servants retiring on their gold-plated public pensions at 60 is another one.
