For decades, he was unaware of his entitlements to subsidies, until it was recently discovered that he was eligible to claim pension benefits.
The Times reports that 100-year-old Margaret Bradshaw has lost $ 75,000 in her pension since returning home in 1990.
The UK-born grandmother spent most of her working life in Canada, so when she returned home she was considered ineligible for a government pension.
Since reaching the age of 80 in 2001, Bradshaw has been entitled to a state pension, meaning he has lost about 20 years of pension benefits.

The nanny and former hotel worker, who now lives in a nursing home, received $ 4,000 in advance.
Her daughter Helen said: “I never heard of pensions for people over the age of 80. I was worried about my mother’s financial situation because nursing homes were expensive, so I knew she would get it 20 years late, even if it was money.”
