Is This True?

[Swanny]

Been sent this e-mail and am wondering if it's true????

Dear Prime Minister The RT. Hon. David Cameron, MP.



I wish to ask you a Question:- "Is This True?"



I refer to the Pension Reality Check.



Are you aware of the following ?



The British Government provides the following financial assistance:-





BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER

(bearing in mind they worked hard and paid their Income Tax and

National Insurance contributions to the British Government all their

working life)



Weekly allowance: £106.00?



IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN

(No Income Tax and National Insurance contribution whatsoever)



Weekly allowance: £250.00





BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER

Weekly Spouse Allowance: £25.00?





ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN

Weekly Spouse Allowance: £225.00

.

BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER

Additional Weekly Hardship Allowance: £0.00?



ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN

Additional Weekly Hardship Allowance: £100.00


A British old age pensioner is no less hard up than an illegal immigrant/refugee yet receives nothing
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT £6,000?



ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT: £29,900



Please read all and then forward to all your contacts so that we can lobby for a decent state pension. After all, the average pensioner has paid taxes and contributed to the growth of this country for the last 40 to 60 years.

I'm all for doubling the OA pension, plus winter bike allowance and special warm clothing & fuel allowance. zx_smilie_grn_new.gif

I believe that the state pension is inadequate to sustain a decent standard of living today. However, the copy document is at best misleading containing false claims which are divisive.

Anyone who's planning on relying on state pension in their old age is in for a very hard time after they retire :/
