Get yourself some treatment

 Yes, I don't necessarily disagree with that - but the original post makes no sense to me.  Can bob.dunford6  be a bit more clear about what he heard?   Are you talking about the Green paper proposals which would raise state pensions to around £140?   I have not heard anything - but then the news is full of other things!!!! 

The original proposal was to increase the payment rate of the Basic State Retirement Pension to around £140 per week in some year in the future, for those who will have paid a lot more by way of NI or similar, for a lot longer, following changes to the system. It will, at the same time, abolish a raft of add-ons which, at present, could bring the current pension up to a good deal more than the basic rate of less then £100. Later it was calculated that the new rate was likely to be as "high" as £150. Naturally, like most  Con-Dem "promises", little will come the way of current OAPs.

I haven't heard of any specific proposals to cut back on the above plan, but by 2025 £150 ain't going to be much!!

There can be no cut-back in current pensions because the "triple lock" put in place in last budget. Even the current evil lot of billionaires are not stupid enough to dismay the older voters, a good many of whole are daft enough to vote Tory! Always remember, if you are poor, or old, or sick, or disabled, or unemployed, this lot will do you down!

 That is what I had also understood - and I don't know where the increase of £20 per week came  from - that is what had me puzzled.  I did look at the site bob.dunford mentioned, and was no wiser.

you ask where is this money coming from.now chris.ward said it was passed long ago .and is waiting in a holding bank but david cameron will not let it go.so christine is trying to get enough registered to fight.and release this money oweing to them.now as she said there are 14 million old age pensioners.who when voting comes hold all the cards if they unite.if you would like more answers then go to www.pensionerscompaign.uk go to contact us.fill in the form .to register and christine will then get intouch with you.if we get enough members uniting.they will pick a day when television is on in the houses of parliment .ask their questions.and the news will be broadcast on tv.radio newspapers.she has already has 100.000 registered more the better.i have been in touch this morning with age concern Spain .Greecs, France.who are very interested.you all can help.just go and register.it is easy.nobody knew any thing about this money owing to us until she brought it up.what is it costing you to register.this is still a free country.

 Oh ok - I understand now what you are referring to.  It is money ring fenced but invested - yes?

Could this 20 pounds mentioned be something to do with extra money towards fuel, some oap´s  and those on benefits and low incomes are entitled to, when the weather is cold for a prolonged period of time. Which it most definately was last winter/spring.

Because I did read somewhere that although those entitled have claimed payment, which is worth up to 25 pounds per week it hasn´t paid.

Unless one  relocates outside of the EU , in which case a state pension remains as of that moment,  once agreed pensions can never be reduced.  Other "benefits" like that I have mentioned however are subject to the whim of the moment.
