As better off pensioners have paid more tax and have bigger houses but do not tend to use the bus so much I think they should be given bigger heating allowances.

You have already told us you have a large house worth over £500,000 with (I recall) 5 bedrooms and room for parking 10 cars, plus another property left in a will, and a pension of only £3000 a month I think you need a bigger heating allowance to heat that lot.

We have had more than half a century of the Welfare State and the poor are still poor and the wealthy are still wealthy.
In fact the gap between rich and poor has increased over the past 25years, .......................LOL..I have forgotten what point i was making......sorry.

If wealthy OAPs surrendered their bus passes could they not be given a sum in compensation? £500 a year seems about right to me.
