THE victim of an assault by a local character nick­ named ''Piggy" was the author of his own misfor­


tune, magistrates heard. John Stevenson (33), of

the country. Why do older people fail to claim their ' .


benefits?There are are variety of reasons, but among the most common are:


1. The complexity of the system. 2. Older people can be put off by the range


of benefits available. And the long and com­ plex forms for some benefits put older people


off.3. Many older people simply are not aware about their entitlements. Hence the need for


weeks such as this. 4. A number of older people are reluctant


to claim as they perceive the benefits system as a form of charity and they are used to managing on their current income.

Coins are stolen


A COLLECTION of antique coins, Victorian fishing pictures and a black leather brief case were stolen from a car parked at the back of the Swan Hotel, Whalley. Thieves broke into the


near-side window of the car, before making off with the case, valued at £30, the four fishing pictures (£30), composed from real fishing flies (£30), and the collec­ tion of coins ranging from the reigns of Queen Victo­ ria through to Elizabeth II
