WHATEVER the shortcomings of the Government (and there are many in my opinion) I think credit should be given for their care for the elderly.
I have just received a cheque for £400, made up of £200 winter fuel allowance, £100 for being over 80 and £100 to help pay my council tax.
This, coming before Christmas, will enable us to splash out a bit more on presents for friends and family as well as have extra treats ourselves.
Mrs L Cadoux, Lancaster.
