Giving people a real choice about how and when to use their pension savings is the right approach, but it must be an informed choice so the advice available to them when they make this crucial decision needs to be first rate. Making this a reality will be central to the success of the reforms and we look forward to working with the Government and the financial services industry to make sure this happens.</p> <p>Radical as these changes are, it's important to recognise that they are not a panacea. If you are one of the 1.6 million pensioners living in poverty in England, this budget will have done nothing to help you cope with rising living costs. Nor will it do anything to reduce the crisis in social care that has seen the number of older people receiving support falling by more than a quarter since 2005</p> <p>Furthermore, we know that people regularly underestimate how long they will live and people retiring now often have immediate calls on their savings such as interest-only mortgages and debts to pay off. Work needs to start now to ensure these people will have assets to support them in very old age, that free financial advice is of a consistently high standard, and that the industry develops some good value financial options so people get the certainty they need for security in later life.</p> <p><strong>If you are have questions about your own finances or just need a friendly ear, phone us at the Silver Line Scotland on 0800 4 70 80 90</strong></p><br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/agescotland.wordpress.com/3348/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/agescotland.wordpress.com/3348/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=agescotland.wordpress.com&blog=24822526&post=3348&subd=agescotland&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" /></p> <p><a href="http://agescotland.wordpress.com/2014/03/19/response-to-the-chancellors-budget-2014/" target="_tab">View full article</a></p> <p> </p> <p style="font-size:0px">(<a href="https://blogtrottr.com/unsubscribe/n0v/5q9Jvl">unsubscribe from this feed</a>)</p> <img src="https://blogtrottr.com/spot/4Ybq/0/4b57" alt="" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04420661648385629976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580570036074671913.post-64080934274864492642014-03-19T13:15:00.001+00:002014-03-19T13:15:26.934+00:00Better Care in NI Hospitals Needed, Says Age NI @age_ni<p>Linda Robinson, Age NI Acting Chief Executive, commented, 'Age NI is shocked, but not surprised, by the recent media reports about the appalling, inhumane and poor treatment of older people while ...</p> <p><a href="http://www.ageuk.org.uk/northern-ireland/latest-news/better-care-in-ni-hospitals-needed-says-age-ni/" target="_tab">View full article</a></p> <p> </p> <p style="font-size:0px">(<a href="https://blogtrottr.com/unsubscribe/n0v/jxf4tG">unsubscribe from this feed</a>)</p> <img src="https://blogtrottr.com/spot/4Ybq/0/HKS" alt="" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04420661648385629976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580570036074671913.post-43998731220714969942014-03-19T13:06:00.001+00:002014-03-19T13:06:34.718+00:00How will Budget benefit older people? @age_uk<p>The latest budget from George Osborne could be good news for older motorists and bingo players alike, experts suggest.

It followed a review of evidence on the extent of the use of zero hours contracts conducted last summer. The consultation focused on two key issues that were raised in the summer review: exclusivity in employment contracts and lack of transparency for employees. Commenting on the consultation, Business Secretary Vince Cable said: “It is clear that a growing number of people are using zero hours contracts.
