Tell Labour: Reverse the removal of Winter Fuel Payment from 10 million pensioners

The Government's decision to limit the Winter Fuel Payment (WFP) to those who claim Pension Credit will put millions of low‑income pensioners at risk of fuel poverty. The change has been made without an Impact Assessment and is being made in spite of a planned 10% increase in energy prices. It will require a divisive and unpopular means‑test and is opposed by policy experts & organisations representing pensioners.

The Government's claims that this was necessary to prevent a "run on the pound" do not stand up to minimal scrutiny. Ensuring citizens have the means to keep warm during Winter is an absolute minimum expectation of any government let alone a Labour one. We call on the Government to reverse this unjust, unnecessary and divisive decision. Sign the petition!
