Calling All Pensioners

Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week: England-based pensioners’ charity, Independent Age, updates on recently urging your MP to sign the petition calling for an end to the unfair mixed-age couples’ rule. The charity also shares that 1.4 million older people in England are missing out on Council Tax Reduction. This is support that could cut their bill dramatically, and in some cases reduce it to zero. Plus, details for signing Independent Age’s petition calling for creating a national water social tariff. Our musical tribute is to David Wiffen, an English-Canadian folk singer-songwriter, who died recently. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly. [Repeats Sunday 2pm.]
