An excellent but brief article to remind us of the Government’s shortsighted decision in changing the Winter Fuel Allowance in such a draconian fashion. I agree that those with a reasonable income in their old age should be exempted from the payments but so many rely on the Allowance to supplement their escalating heating bills.
I wonder if the cost of the surge in Pension Credit applications will exceed the projected cost saving of the Winter Fuel Allowance? If so, another own goal from HMG.
