Sir, - Your Budget 99 supplement carries two front-page tables, showing net gains of £331 for a single person earning £12,500 and £851 for a couple earning £100,000. Yet it also carries a banner headline claiming that "Old age pensioners [net increase £312 for a single person] are among the big winners".
Surely these figures show that in fact OAPs are among the big losers? - Yours, etc., Anne Cahill,
