Upgrading the system is one thing but denying payment to pensioners, often with serious health conditions and disabilities, is repugnant. The Government are picking the pockets of those who have made our country great and endured much hardship along the way. I fear that this could be only the start of what this Government will continue to do to not only pensioners but ordinary workers and taxpayers. Sadly, I have no belief that the Government are listening to the appeal made by many in the other House and right across this House. It is also questionable what in-year savings will be accrued when this cruel action is carried out.
