Pensioners on the whole after all pensions and benefits have been paid
make a net contribution of some £40bn per annum to the economy.

Can you cite any source for that?

Shouldn't be hard to work out what is paid out in pensions and benefits.

The bulk of that is spent in the economy somehow.

Then could you be kind enough to make that calculation?
