For years it seems Sandwell charged bereaved families VAT for headstone work for cremated remains, then Sandwell found out some VAT should not have been charged ?

A number of people assumed they would get some over payment money back!

NO was the answer

Sandwell Tory said

The last Labour governments policies helped bring this country into the mess its in and still their only solution is hit the people who have paid into the system the longest, the pensioners.

What is going on with Labour, why should pensioners pay for Labour's mess ?
