Do you think people over 60 still in work (or for that matter those who have taken early retirement) should get a discount?[/quotIt's like the winter fuel allowance, you still get it even if you're a millionaire!

When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.
Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.

I think Old Age Pensioners should get a concession. I suggest you read my previous posts which I've explained what age group are OAP's.

why should they?
|
|
|
| Concessions are age related, not income related which is where the issue of whether an individual deserves it or not is completely irrelevant. The standard pensioner earns very little, which is why the overall concession discounts are very helpful and gratefully received. However, as throughout working age life, there are always going to be pensioners that have savings/private pensions/investments etc that will mean that along with their probably mortgage free households, are actually very comfortable in retirement. There is absolutely no way that general concessions can be means tested, companies simply don't have the resources for that, therefore like it or not, OAP concessions are here to stay. I do agree with an above mentioned point though, in that they shouldn't be available until they are at state pension age.

I'm not sure many people refer to that age group as 'old age pensioners' anymore but I'm perfectly aware of the state retirement age, thanks. I don't see why everyone should get a discount at a certain age. Or bus passes for that matter.
You obviously won't answer my question about over 60s still in work getting a concession so I guess we'll just leave it there.

you haven't, not that I can see.
Karen's point is valid, it can't be means tested, but shouldf be in line with state pension age.
I know a lot of pensioners on way more than the fixed pension.

I already answered it, its not my fault if you didn't read it, but for your benefit I'll say it again.....they state pension is £125.95 a week. Most OAP's have no other means of earning any other income, ie thats why they call it having a fixed income. I suppose you'll be having a pop at the disabled next who are in an almost identical situation

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

It's been 60 for as long as I can remember, when most men would still have been working and most women retired.

all you did was generalise about fixed incomes.
Amyway, it's 60, wether you or I agree with it isn't going to change anything.

I think that's the problem too, it's 60 in some circumstances and 65 in others. It needs a blanket change agreeing and the state age of receiving pension payments seems the easiest and fairest.

I said that a few posts back too. Since the DDA came in most clubs have a universal policy of disabled person pays full price, carer free. It never used to be though and got confusing around the different clubs.
