You need to book a full health check

as too much excitement may have detrimental effects on your health

then you can sue them for endangering your health

Actually, let's think - the super rich get richer so equality amongst them. We the peasants remain where we belong - at the bottom - so equality there. What's the problem?

I suspect the OP is not accustomed to a glass of champers every evening by the fire. So, he would probably not know what to do with a large rise whereas 25p is enough to try some lifestyle changes without losing touch with his place in life (as Baldrick may say). Whereas, with the price of top-class champers, people such as MP's would know exactly how to indulge with their 10% rise. Any less would be an insult really.

The boring answer

Pensioners aged 80 and over receive an addition of 25 pence to their state pension. The age addition was introduced in 1971, in recognition of “the special claims of very elderly people who on the whole need help rather more than others”. It has never been uprated, with successive Governments either arguing that greater priority should be given to protecting the level of the basic benefits, or choosing to target additional resources at older pensioners by other means, for example, through means-tested benefits or lump sum payments, such as the Winter Fuel Payment.
The Government has announced its intention to reform the state pension, introducing a single-tier state pension for future pensioners from April 2016. The single-tier pension will not include an age addition. However, people already over State Pension age when the reforms are introduced will continue to receive their state pension in line with existing rules.

Have you thought about giving this unexpected wealth to charity?

No. Over a year it will pay for my Rover 75 club subscription. Hope the club appreciates my sacrifice.

Nothing wrong in wanting more, i have always aspired to being a peasant.
