How good is that?

I cannot get one,
All our overseas residents who live in my avenue have all had new radiators and Gas boilers. I said where is mine,
You are not on benefits so No Chance.
I am a Pensioner, ...No That is not good enough, You have to have Pension Credit, ....Then give me Pension Credit and I will have a Boiler...
Pension Credit is when your State Pension is not as much as it should be, But because I have a Merchant Navy Pension that I bought and paid for with my own money I am over the limit for Credit,
If I was on Pension Credit I wouls get a free boiler, I would get FREE Council Tax, more than £1250 a year, free dental and Opticians glasses.
If I deduct those benefits from my Pension I am living on less money than the ones who have No Occupational Pension. My boiler is 15 years old, always breaking down, costs me a fortune to maintain, burns more gas than it should do and gives me bigger gas bills further reducing my net pension.
If it breaks down again, the Man said there are no more spare parts, it is obsolete. then I will have pay over £2000 for a new one.
My overseas neighbours , never paid a penny in taxes, on every benefit going, and also New Mercedes Cars on the disability. get everything for Free.
I only wished I had gone on the ale and spent all my money and Not invested in a MN Pension.
