Rectify injustice of pension credit threshold
Create a fair system for people in receipt of state pension
One person who receives full state pension is £3 over qualifying threshold for pension credit. They therefore miss out on thousands of pounds including ad hoc government payments, free glasses, free dental, TV licence and any other benefit based opportunities. That person, who paid up all their NI is left thousands of pounds poorer than those people who did not pay all their NI.
