Petition Retired Pensioners-Equality for single pensioners

More details

Single retired pensioners with work pensions plus state pensions and no more savings,are given no help to receive pension credit if their income is slightly more than this cut-off £186.00 per week,i.e. £10.00 in excess.
It is harder for a single person who have worked all their life are placed in the same catagory as those who have never worked in their life or who have just walked into the UK and can claim all the benefits that are available to them,but a pensioner does not have these benefits-WHY?
