An image shared on Facebook makes an inaccurate comparison between the financial support which pensioners and 'illegal immigrants' receive. It claims that 'after paying National Insurance for 35 years, UK pensioners receive £6,800 a year' while 'illegal immigrants will receive on average £26,000 a year in unearned benefits'. These figures aren't right. The amount UK pensioners receive in state pension varies depending on a number of factors, but pensioners entitled to the full amount receive significantly more than £6,800 per year.
