The Chancellor announced on Monday that she was intending to scrap the Winter Fuel Payment for 10 million older people with immediate effect. Only the very poorest pensioners on pension credit and other benefits will continue to receive this allowance. Once again the millions just above the very low pension credit limit of £218 per week will lose out and the charities estimate that an extra 2 million older people will have to juggle heating and eating this winter if this policy is not reversed. Almost anyone with a small private pension will lose hundreds of pounds of energy support. 

Help us to reverse this cruel policy by signing and sharing our new petition on the link below:

We need to recreate the spirit of the campaign to save the Triple Lock on this vital universal benefit. Many thanks Dennis
