Benefits plea

I'M 64 and have worked all my life until a medical problem meant I could no longer do so, but I think it's time for the Government to look at incapacity/pension benefits and see how they relate to today's living costs as opposed to when they were set.

Most people can spend on one night's meal what I get to live on for a week. Come on, it's 2008. Bring things up to date.

Brian Groves, Darlington.
