It's the Gross income point that stymies a lot of people.  There must be a good number of people who fall below the 16,000+ after they have paid compulsory income tax [and council tax].  So there could be lots of pensioners who cannot access any benefits and in reality be worse off than those who can.  Not much worse off but who must make every penny count and who have to wear more fleeces in the winter.  I have occasionally checked on what is available but only ever qualify for universal freebies [which I treasure].  I do think that pensioners are well looked after in this country which is good.  I wish we had known about some of them when my mother was alive.
