Save Winter Fuel Payments
The new Labour Government is failing older people across the country, with their cuts to the Winter Fuel Payments.
- Household heating bills are set to rise again this winter. Yet one of the first acts of this new Labour Government has been to remove the £300 winter fuel payment from millions of pensioners.
- Stopping these payments is just plain wrong - and Liberal Democrats will fight this decision.
- Vulnerable older people in our community should not be forced to choose between eating and heating this winter. Major charities - including Age UK - have spoken out against this cut, arguing it risks damaging the health of so many older people.
- Lib Dem MPs in Parliament have been leading calls for the new Government to re-think this damaging decision.
Save Winter Fuel Payments
Back the Liberal Democrat campaign to protect the Winter Fuel Payment. We urge the Labour Government to reverse their damaging decision - which will leave many older people vulnerable this winter.
