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.
