  • Paul Sweeney Mp Urges Local Residents to Claim Pension Credit and Housing Benefit Now Before Uk Government Changes Rules from 15Th May
    Contact: Date: Embargo: PAUL SWEENEY MP URGES LOCAL RESIDENTS TO CLAIM PENSION CREDIT AND HOUSING BENEFIT NOW BEFORE UK GOVERNMENT CHANGES RULES FROM 15TH MAY Age Scotland calls on all pensioners with a low income and a non-pensioner partner to put in a claim or risk missing out on up to £7,000 a year Paul Sweeney MP is calling on all pensioners living on a low income with a partner of working age to urgently check their eligibility for Pension Crediti and Housing Benefitii and put in a claim before the Government changes the rules on 15th May.iii The UK Government’s change, snuck out during the first ‘meaningful vote’ on Brexit in January, will see the right to claim Pension Credit and Housing Benefit – important tools in the fight against pensioner poverty – withdrawn from future claimants who happen to have a partner who hasn’t yet reached their own pensionable age. This move will have severe financial consequences for all those affected. Age Scotland and Shadow Scotland Office Minister Paul Sweeney MP are warning that this could have a devastating impact on some of Glasgow North East’s poorest older residents. Age Scotland and Paul Sweeney MP are urging anyone who may be entitled to claim benefits to call the Age Scotland helpline on 0800 12 44 222 for a free benefit and entitlements check before 15th May. Age Scotland is warning that by slashing the entitlements of couples needing to claim support in the future by as much as £7,000 a year,iv the new policy will place some pensioners in the absurd position of being financially better off if they split up and live apart from their younger partner.

I spoke about the importance of social care, how we have a Cinderella service, and how local councils and healthcare services need to work together to provide a proper safety net. It was a fantastic opportunity to speak to Labour women from all over the country, celebrate how far we’ve come in the last year, and instil a sense of determination for the campaign’s ahead. On the Monday of Labour Party Conference I gave a speech in the International Session, in my capacity as Shadow Foreign Secretary. I set out Labour’s vision for an ethical foreign policy, the need for a revolution of Supporting Northern Irish women values in our outlook towards the world, and the re- establishment of a world based on rules and laws. In an era characterised by the resurgence of isolationist, nationalist leaders, the Labour Party must be as internationalist as ever.
