Regions where people most often reach 100-110 years old are the ones where there’s the most pressure to commit pension fraud, and they also have the worst records. For example, the best place to reach 105 in England is Tower Hamlets. It has more 105-year-olds than all of the rich places in England put together. It’s closely followed by downtown Manchester, Liverpool and Hull. Yet these places have the lowest frequency of 90-year-olds and are rated by the UK as the worst places to be an old person.
It’s more common that dependents who are receiving the benefits don’t register the death to keep the payments flowing. I personally think a lot of places could be much more generous with poverty assistance instead of forcing those folks to keep the pensions flowing to garner aide.
