Live: MPs debate winter fuel payment cuts for millions of pensioners
A new campaign has been launched to reinstate the Winter Fuel Payment for millions of pensioners after the chancellor made significant changes to the cold weather benefit.
Beginning this year, the eligibility for the yearly one-off payment will change. Now, only pensioners who receive Pension Credit (or certain or benefits) will be able to receive the Winter Fuel Payment.
Campaigners have criticised this change, arguing it will cause millions of pensioners to struggle this winter. Age UK estimates around two million struggling pensioners will suffer because of the change.
