More details from petition creator
Since the £10 pensioners Christmas bonus was introduced in 1972, it has never been increased for inflation and today enjoys the equivalent purchasing power of just £1.15.
To make the bonus more meaningful, the sum should be doubled to £20 and increased in line with inflation thereafter.
