For me ALL benefits should and must be means tested, not just against the means of those who claim but also the ability and willingness of those that claim to help themselves through work or other expedient ways to ensure they can afford the basic necessities of a reasonable life, food, heating, a home in which to live and the ability to move around the area in which they live...fighter2

Including old age pensions/benefits.

Ziggyblue. If you truly believe it gets as cold here as in Devon then you have nothing to worry about.Maybe just maybe the con/dems are as deluded as you.

I certainly don't assume every expat is rich.Far from it.But let's be honest here, the WFA was certainly not introduced for people living In Spain or anywhere else abroad. Its yours / my choice to live outside of the UK.
I think if you were to ask the UK public.Are you aware people in Spain get the WFA.and do you think this is right?
You would get a resounding No.

Its time to stop the rich pensioners sucking the UK dry.withdrawing the WFA for expats is just the start.You may not be lying on your sunbeds,but you're certainly not shivering next to a one bar electric fire in temps below zero.
