Susan in congleton, for you it isnt a matter of waiting and giving them the benefit of the doubt. Remind us of your situation, susan. Benefit of the doubt. Remind us of yoursituation, susan. Im of your situation, susan. Im speaking of your situation, susan. Im speaking on of your situation, susan. In speaking on behalf of all of the many carers who are caring for their Loved Ones at home. My for their Loved Ones at home. My husband wanted to be at home. We brought him out of hospital and he is in a hospital and he is in a Hospital Bed in the lounge. He has an Oxygen Machine keeping him alive, he has an electric Bed Charger on all the time for the hoist. He is also son downing dementia so hes awake all night and the lights are on all night and the lights are on all night and the lights are on all night as well. My Heating Bill is enormous and also the power. The power that is going out of this home just to keep him comfortable and safe and comfortable is horrendous. The allowance is not means tested, it was brought in and based on need. So my argument is Heating And Powerfor somebody in need like this is a medical need. I want to ask your adviser, can you advise me what i should economise on . Should it be the oxygen, should it be the electric bed . Should it be his diet . Should it be the lighting all night to keep him happy . Should you be in a room with Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves and Angela Rayner and others, what would yOu Say . I and Angela Rayner and others, what would yOu Say . And Angela Rayner and others, what would yOu Say . I would ask him, ou what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you tell what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you Tell Me what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you Tell Me what what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you Tell Me what i what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you Tell Me what i can him, you Tell Me what i can economise on. We dont have Pension Credit, we are one of the many a few pounds over, and i mean a few pounds. The Social Worker advised me there is nothing there for us. Im just saying im saving the country a lot of money caring for my husband which is what we want to do. I dont get the Carer Allowance because i have the State Pension. It isnt a full one but its enough to get me away from any care allowance. The Attendance Allowance is taken away from us because it goes towards the carers coming in plus more money will have to pay towards it. Im not complaining because this is the life we want. The last weeks or months we have together this is our choice. But please, let my husband have the last weeks or months in some degree of Comfort And Dignity by this government. I Comfort And Dignity by this government. Comfort and dignity by this government. I think the Point Ou government. I think the point you make government. I think the point you make about government. I think the point you make about so government. I think the point you make about so many government. I think the point i you make about so many home carers, people caring for their Loved Ones, and in effect saving the State Money is a point well made and its a point well made and its a point a lot of people do make, and thank you, susan.

Since did all the caring for him. Since his did all the caring for him. Since his death my income has halved since his death my income has halved because he had a pension from halved because he had a pension from his halved because he had a pension from his work and he had a full state from his work and he had a full State Pension and we had my small State Pension and we had my small pension plus the Attendance Allowance.

My point regarding this is, the Labour Government say they need to do this to grow the economy. How are they going to grow the economy when millions of pensioners are going to be £500 a year worse off . We are not going to be spending it in the local community. All our money is going to Go On each of our homes. I think it is a misnomer and they are trying to mislead people. Ijust cant believe that a Labour Government have done this will stop its just incredible. Done this will stop its Ust Incrediblei done this will stop its ust incredible. How will you be affected.

I live on my own, sadly i lost my wife a couple of years ago but i live on my own. Im going to put more jumpers on, i will not put the heating on because im terrified of high energy bills. Because the cost of energy is ever increasing, its going To Go ever increasing, its going to 9 up ever increasing, its going To Go up 10 . So thats what is going to happen. It is going to be a great inconvenience. People will die because some people will be terrified of putting the heating on at all. They will literally freeze to death. I voted they will literally freeze to death. Ivoted labour they will literally freeze to death. I voted labour in every single general election since i first voted in 1970 and im ashamed of the fact that i voted labour on the Lith Ofjuly after they have done this.

And if i add all of those things together were talking £1000 a year, not £1000, £1000 a year, which is absolutely horrendous. I worked for 48 years and i have not claimed 1p Of Benefit in that time, paid everything in, and now all of a sudden im being told that, sorry, we are actually not going to give you what you were hoping to get when you retired and were going to take £1000 a year back from you. Im just thinking, excuse me. Basically, pensioners have kept this country going for the last 50 odd years and now they are being told, thanks for that, but no thanks, and were just going to take all this back. Thats how i look at it. The whole bigger picture of this, those with the broadest shoulders should pay more but nobody talks about the other side of the coin, those who dont have the broad shoulders shouldnt take out as much and need to start taking a little bit more responsibility. Maybe some of those bit more responsibility. Maybe some of those shoulders bit more responsibility. Maybe some of those shoulders are i bit more responsibility.

So impressed with the running. Ross in telford. Good morning, ross. Should Keir Starmer U Turn on this . I morning, ross. Should Keir Starmer uturn on this . I dont have a problem Starmer Uturn on this . I dont have a problem with Starmer Uturn on this . I dont have a problem with people have a problem with people Means Testing any benefit, really. I dont want to make this into a generational thing because at the end of the day i think we should tax multimillionaires and billionaires and then we wouldnt have this problem. The fact of the matter is the generation that now receives pension, they may argue this point, but they had it easy, they have a cheap fuel and cheap housing, lots of housing was bought at discounted rates because of right to buy and things and they had a good run when my generation at people who may be under li0 did not command a lot of these people are sitting in big houses that are sitting in big houses that are worth a lot of money and maybe they complain that they Cant Heat them. Yes, i understand that that house is not cash but that house can be sold, it can be borrowed against. I know people from the pub, distant Family Members and staff, they live in big houses on their own and these houses are worth small fortunes and they plead poverty whenever they plead poverty whenever they see the headlines on the pensions and fuel payments, but going back to the Garden Centre staff, they will go out of the Garden Centre, so more power to them, they have earned that money, go and enjoy it. But by the same token when my generation complain we cant get on the Housing Ladder we are told to stop buying avocado on toast. If you cant afford to heat your house, maybe dont buy the ornate duck from the Garden Centre. The whole Tax System is flawed but i dont have a problem Means Testing any benefit because it makes sense. ,. , any benefit because it makes sense. ,. ,. , sense. There was a bit of political sense. There was a bit of political cynicism sense. There was a bit of political cynicism early i sense.

The cost of childcare is astronomical, my mortgage is going up £450 a month, we get no help, we are above the threshold, i havent had a Pay Rise in ten years, i work long hours and it causes me to have tears because it is so frustrating because the Baby Boomer Generation with their big houses, and good pensions. Im not going to get the pension that my mum, for example, has i will not get the pension my grandma has and we are really struggling financially. Protect the most vulnerable and guess. I dont expect to have more money. I own more than people on benefits you get that help, i wouldnt begrudge people having help at all, they deserve it, they need it to survive, but i do begrudge people in big houses who have assets, who have had the best Everything And Pleading poverty in their big giant £700,000 houses, it really upsets me.
