SIR - The Government has abolished the 10p rate of tax. This means that I will receive less money every month from my work pension.

I am 63. I earn only £8,500 a year and will be £135.49 worse off. My next door neighbour earns £30,000 a year and will be £293 better off.

I always thought the Labour Government was about helping the less well off. Now I realise this isn't the case! It is a disgrace that this has happened.
