In the latest of our reports on 100 parliamentary seats, Tom Bateman went to Bexhill-on-Sea to speak to pensioners about means testing benefits.

In a speech on 23 February David Cameron will say that universal benefits for pensioners will once again be protected if the Conservatives win the general election in May.

The Prime Minister has kept his 2010 promise not to introduce means testing for benefits such as bus passes, TV licences and the winter fuel allowance.

Labour and the Liberal Democrats have said they would remove some benefits from better-off pensioners.

One pensioner, Peter Cocking, thinks benefits should be means tested.

"There's so many people earning so much money they don't need free bus passes, and winter fuel allowances; a lot of them don't actually want it, but there's no way they can send it back," he said.
