AN ELDERLY couple have been refused a grant to put a bath in their States-owned flat, even though one of them can’t use the shower.

RESIDENTS of Maison de Quetteville have already benefited from an improved quality of life, its chairman has said.

A GREAT-grandmother initially given two weeks to move house by the States has been saddled with four-figure bills.

FEARS have been raised that old-age pensioners and the lower paid will suffer as a result of the latest tax rise plans.

PROUD pensioners will be hardest hit by the huge rise in the price of electricity, says Age Concern.
