This strengthens our resolve to get the personal allowance for pensioners raised. In the above article the Director of Silver Voices is quoted as follows:
"If Andy Burnham means what he says about tackling the cost-of-living crisis as his first priority, then he must raise the lower tax threshold as a matter of urgency. This would help not only pensioners, but all hard-working, low-income households."
