End the unfair Council Tax burden

In the run up to Gordon Brown's pre-Budget report later this month, we are calling on the Chancellor to introduce a new £200 payment for all pensioners.
In 2005 the Chancellor made a £200 payment to pensioners, to help them with the increased costs of living, in particular Council Tax. However, in the 2006 Budget this payment was withdrawn, despite the fact that living costs for pensioners have continued to rise well above the rate of inflation.
A recent Help the Aged survey found that at least a quarter of those living on low incomes spent more than 10 per cent of their incomes on Council Tax.

Help send a strong message to the Chancellor asking him to ease the Council Tax burden on older people.

Email Gordon Brown to demand he reintroduce the £200 payment
