Millionaires shouldn't get winter fuel cash, Treasury minister says

The UK Government considers excluding millionaires from receiving winter fuel payments to focus aid on those in need, following a public uproar. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer promises a reinstatement of the allowance for more pensioners in the upcoming Budget. Opposition parties and critics advocate for the full restoration of winter fuel allowances. Discussions continue on the eligibility criteria for the winter fuel payment as the government reassesses distribution strategies.
