I don't know how many, I don't know exactly how many there are - but you must remember that the elderly population is increasing and there are not as many kids coming up behind them. This is a fact that we are constantly being told by various sources. So there is more demand on the state pension pot -so we are being told!

I personally think that cutting benefits all round is not a good idea - I was just pointing out that if your going to make someone pay 10% of their housing benefit after 12months on Job Seekers, then why give people money who have money in the bank. It's not how much that money is: it's the principle that counts.
