Harlow MP Bill Rammell has welcomed a Government scheme to award housing benefit to pensioners for up to five years at a time. "Filling in claim forms every year can cause unnecessary worry among pensioners and very often their circumstances haven't changed since the year before," he said. "I know many of them find it bureaucratic and unnecessary."
