Rachel Reeves has announced that winter fuel payments will only be paid to those on Pension Credit.nsion Credit

I'm quite happy with this as it won't affect me but feel for those who will lose out and be worried about their heating bills.
I would like to know where the money saved will go.

I am one of those people (widowed) and just above the limit for claiming benefits. I get a small private pension from my late husband and a state pension in my own right. If I buy spectacles and pay for dental treatment, I immediately drop below the threshold so am worse off than the people on benefits. The winter fuel allowance is a god send for me and covers me for the higher energy costs during winter.

Once it stops I will be cutting down on cooking, washing and heating the house.

Well well, true colours here. Not surprised one iota.
Glad I didn't vote for this lot.
Yet they can send 84 billion pounds to Africa, and Middle East,oil rich nations.

Fair enough.

I should be careful in speaking for everyone, many pensioners are just outside the Pension Credit limit who are far from ‘comfortably off’, I doubt they will be very happy!!

Agreed

Maybe stop the £10 at Christmas gift for pensioners too?

Sycamore123 I agree, those who just miss our on pension credits by a few pence will be cold this winter…

Fine with me too. 👍
