Wondering the heating allowance that everyone gets once you turn 60 cant be returned i tried and was told that if you feel that strongly about it sir you could always give it to charity as i have said many times its a very strange world we live in.
Lynne we live in a strange world folk take without any thought i am entitled to a free bus pass but havent applied i simply dont believe i should as i can afford the fares.
