Will all pensioners have to file a tax return!

Lots of people opt out of auto enrolment,  especially at the low income end.
My Daughter even knows fellow Teachers who opted out of the TPS, which is insane. 
Where I used to work , well over half the warehouse staff did.  

I’m cynical and think they brought it in so people will be ‘just’ over the limit for help when they have a small pension.
It’s galling when someone like my disabled Sister was £5 a week over the limit for help with rent etc.  because she had a tiny £50k annuity paying sod all and was almost evicted before she managed to get PiP on appeal.

There's some pressure to do that in London where people on education salaries struggle to pay deposits and mortgages on accommodation.
