FYI
The Labour Party looked into how taking away the WFA from all pensioners other than those on benefits when they were a shadow cabinet, in case the Tories decided to cut it.The findings were that something like up to four thousand pensioners could die.
I know about that, it was seven years ago and the operative word is ‘could’. Since then pensioners have received rises of 28.5%, 80% of whom own their own homes outright. As I said the blame lies with the last government who allowed the energy companies to make obscene profits not with the loss of the cost of a cup of coffee, a pint of lager or a glass of wine a week.
The government took steps to stop wealthier pensioners including 2.7 million people whose income is more than £50,270 pa from receiving unnecessary handouts, the threshold is too low but hopefully it will be amended when possible.
