Does anyone know if you still get extra state pension at 80 (I think it was something ridiculous like 25p) because I haven't received anything and i actually hope they have stopped it because it must cost more to administer than to pay out. I did post this a while ago but forgot to look for the answer and the reminder link didnt work.
If the £10 Xmas bonus had kept pace with the rate of inflation since it was first introduced it would be worth £124 today. On the other hand the £200 winter fuel allowance did not exist back then so I suppose in real terms we are better off.
