Is age discrimination lawful?

Again, this is where it can get discriminatory again, pension credits pah!!

I worked hard and saved for my retirement. Not entitled to pension credits..............

Why not complain about children's discounts while you're at it - there are loads of those and all age related.

But surely you don't actively want to have a lower income and have to rely on benefits to top it up, with all the intrusion and limitation of freedom that that involves?

I thank my stars (and my pension plan) that I'm not dependent on benefits in my old age. Though I may yet have to apply for housing benefit, but not yet, oh lord, not yet!

Youre absolutely right, which is why i joined my company pension scheme, and why I luckily had a reasonably small mortgage which is now no more, thank goodness.

We get 1.6 state pension, 2 small pps and live quite comfortably. And quite happy to not rely on any other benefit that the pension.
