My own MP voted against the attempt to keep winter fuel payments universal.
There are thought to be around 5,000 pensioners in this Local Authority who qualify for but do not claim the Pension Credit that would allow them to also claim WFP.
That's 5,000 who, even by UK Labour Government criteria, qualify for but will no longer receive help to heat their home this winter.
It was never about giving payments to millionaires. It was about ensuring those 5,000 get what they need.
