'People are having to do the things which aren't what they saved for and some people don't have any savings at all'
Kate Garraway has revealed that she's been forced to dip into her pension funds to settle "belated bills" following the death of her husband Derek Draper .
"You need every penny of that pension", she remarked, before revealing: "I'm doing something similar myself."The mum-of-two then disclosed that she's had to withdraw from her pension to cover her late husband's medical expenses. Kate said: "I've just had to withdraw the bit you can tax-free from my pension to pay belated bills for my husband, who has now passed away.
Kate hasn't shied away from speaking about her financial struggles, which amplified during her Derek's prolonged fight with Covid-19. Tragically, Derek, from Chorley, passed away earlier this year at just 56 years old, leaving his wife to grapple with the enormous burden of his healthcare costs, which soared to an eye-watering £16,000 per month for essential care and mobility therapy.
