Stop Labour’s Winter Fuel Payment Cuts
The Westminster Government has announced that the Winter Fuel Payment – worth up to £300 - will now be means-tested. Only pensioners on Pension Credit or other means-tested benefits will receive it. This cut could leave half a million pensioners in Wales worse off.
Means-testing the Winter Fuel Payment will place people’s health at risk, placing even further pressure on our NHS.
Plaid Cymru believes that pensioners should have this vital support to stay warm this winter and call on the Labour Government to reverse these cruel cuts.
