More money announced for pensioners the 'bare minimum' - Age Concern

More money announced for pensioners is the "bare minimum" according to Age Concern Auckland chief executive Kevin Lamb.

Yesterday the Government announced pensioners will see their payments rise by 7.22% in line with inflation from April 1. Under the changes, a couple on NZ Super would receive $103 more in total a fortnight, and a single person living alone receive an extra $67 with each payment.

Speaking to Breakfast this morning, Lamb said the Government needs to target the most vulnerable New Zealanders.

"There are a lot of older people who are struggling desperately financially, they were before the cost of living and it's got worse during the cost of living.

"What this has done is taken them back to what was a very difficult starting point. It's good news but it's simply not enough."
