Andrew Harrop, head of policy at Age
Concern and Help the Aged said:
"The changes to the way income from
savings is worked out are good news for
hundreds of thousands of older people."
"Savings of up to £10,000 will be
ignored for the purposes of working out
benefit entitlement. People should
check if they are missing out on help."
"But this small improvement won't help
to hide the fact that the means tested
system is failing to help many older
people who need it most."
