Winter fuel payment U-turn in place this year, says chancellor
Chancellor announces partial U-turn on winter fuel payments to help more people this winter. The £300 allowance, previously only for pension credit recipients, will be expanded, but specifics remain unclear until the autumn Budget. The move follows criticism and concerns over exclusion of pensioners due to income limits, signaling a potential shift in eligibility criteria.
