Help needed to spend pension bonus

[MXRod]

Just coming up to my 80th birthday ( must be close to being father of forum ?) and received a nice little missive from DWP .
My pension is to be increased by the wonderful total of 25p per week .
I need help and suggestions on how to spend this grand amount

You could put a deposit on a pint of beer?

Won't you lose about 30% of that in tax, let's assume its near 18p.

Not directly, that will be on other income.

That's a long game approach, it would take about 6 months to pay for a pint!

it's a difficult question to answer. You may want to take professional advice rather than ask randoms on a forum.

Try looking at it another way, that's 13 quid a year so this time next year you'll be able to buy a gallon of diesel.

Try not to spend it all at once!
