Good evening,
I have a query that you may be able to help me with- my 74 year old mother can’t get a pension of any description because she didn’t have enough stamps put on as she gave up work in her early 30’s to raise a family. Her husband is a retired, therefore they have to live on his pension, they are entitled to no fuel allowance etc. With the cost of living they are struggling to make ends meet.
It’s an absolute disgrace that a couple who never worked a day in their life, claimed social welfare have more money coming into the house than my parents (my father worked all his life & my mother worked from age 14 to her early thirties).It’s such an unfair system. She has applied but keeps getting told no she’s not entitled.
Is there anything that can be done about this or can someone point me in the right direction?
Kind Regards,
Concerned Son.
