RE: Coming to live off you very soon.
when they made the system for jsa the pension age for women was 60 so if a man wanted to carry on claiming after then he could but his claim had to be made clerical cos the system wouldnt allow a person aged 60+ to claim it, same for IS, its and ancient system that was made decades ago and instead of replacing it, they keep trying to update it but it never works. Pension credit was brought in for all the people who only got a very basic state pension and hadnt worked to have a private pension to enable them to bring in more money, they also get all the same benefits (ie housing/council tax benefit, free prescriptions, free nhs things, etc) that a dole bum gets.
and the pension age is currently in the middle of going up to 67, it will prob be 100 by the time im ready to retire
