There are plenty of pensioners who don't need it. My mother is one, my sisters inlaws are more
However it's not a means tested benefit

Yet you are disparaging to those who have posted saying they don't need it ?
Why should those who don't need it give it to charity? If I was given £200 just because of my age I'm sure I'd spend it on myself , even if it was a party
Surely as a benefit it should be means tested and those who don't need it don't get it , leaving more in the kitty for those who do need benefit ?
