Every pensioner needs heating and hot water but not every one requires a £200 annual allowance to provide that need. I agree with those who say the Tax Office can easily provide the information to help the authorities direct any financial help to where it is most needed.
The Government doesn't seem to have any problem identifying and financially assisting millionaires and billionaires through the tax regime so what's the problem identifying the very poorest pensioners who might need these benefits the most, instead of just offering them to every pensioner whether pauper or billionaire?
