Suggestion for a New Pensioner Forum

I am approaching retirement and like many before me  I am trying to make decisions about many aspects of retirement.

I think it would be a great Idea to create a new forum where pensioner and those approaching pension could ask any questions they have.

I am aware that the is a Pensions form (and it is great for information about pensions and planning) but I am also aware that the are many other issues that affect pensioners are not really addressed.

Is it just me or does anyone else think this would be a very helpful forum to have access to?

    What issues aren't addressed on the Pensions board?
    Is there a reason why those issues shouldn't/can't be addressed on the existing board?

    There's an over 50's board, which is very helpful and it has a long running thread for people on lower incomes planning retirement or have retired on a lower income; many younger / older ones post there.

    The general retirement planning questions or what perks are available, NHS charges etc also get asked on the over 50's board.
