Support for older people is mostly pensions and health cover. The important distinction is between schemes you join before a certain age and schemes that pay out after one.
Pension schemes generally close to new members at 40 or 50, which means the time to join is long before you would think of yourself as a senior citizen. Health cover, by contrast, is often widest at the oldest ages.
