GB News: Pensioners urged to claim £3,900 before deadline as 750,000 older Britons 'missing out on support'
Pensioners are urged to check their eligibility for Pension Credit before the December 21 deadline to access vital winter support averaging £3,900 annually. Many older individuals hesitate to seek financial assistance, with research indicating that 75% believe they won't qualify.
The stigma around asking for help contributes to this issue, with many feeling uncomfortable about applying. Experts stress that Pension Credit is not a handout but a recognition of past contributions, and accessing it can significantly improve quality of life.
GB News: Popular car feature going extinct with just one new model released recently - 'Bid farewell'
The traditional manual handbrake is disappearing from UK vehicles, with only the Dacia Spring offering it as standard among 42 new models launched in the past year. This shift reflects a broader trend towards electronic parking brakes, with only 8% of new cars still featuring manual systems.
The decline is stark, with a 73% drop in manual handbrake availability from 2019 to 2024. Major manufacturers like BMW and Fiat have phased out manual handbrakes, while the used car market remains a viable option for those preferring the traditional feature.
