Pensioners

[smurfchops]

How do I find out what perks there are for pensioners ??

[Sir Alec]

Age Concern are great! My Dad has short term memory problems and they have been wonderful. I've managed to get him on Attendance Allowance, which is not to be sniffed at when you're on a meagre pension like he is. They can give you information on any topic to do with pensioner's rights, activities and societies too.
