Pensioner poverty
Nearly one million people aged over 75 live in poverty and need more help from the government, a report suggests.
The charity Independent Age says ministers should do more to make older pensioners aware they can top up their pensions with other benefits.
It also suggests the income of those aged over 75 is, on average, £3,000 a year less than younger pensioners.
