Make Winter Fuel Payments means tested

Petition Details

The Government should focus Winter Fuel Payments on people who need them most, by only paying these to people who are in receipt of a means-tested benefit.

Additional Information

People receiving state pension but who have adequate income should not receive Winter Fuel Payments.

By making these payments only available to people on means-tested benefits, the same amount of money could be used to give people in need a bigger payment so they can better afford to heat their homes. This could be more effective at reducing the yearly deaths due to cold weather.
