Pensioners will get a boost in Tuesday's (May 9th) budget with a one off payment to help with power bills.


Treasurer Scott Morrison confirmed the cash hand out, which was part of the deal struck with Nick Xenophon to pass the first stage of the government's company tax cuts.

Mr Morrison has also hinted there'll be more money for health and a 'comprehensive' housing package.
