- The government reversed its previous decision and will distribute the winter fuel payment to approximately nine million pensioners.
- The eligibility threshold is now set at an annual income below £35,000, greatly increasing the number of qualified recipients.
- The payment remains means-tested to target support towards lower-income pensioners rather than all recipients indiscriminately.
- Pensioners can opt out of receiving the payment, and those above the threshold will have the amount reclaimed through taxation.
This humiliating U-turn will come as scant comfort to the pensioners forced to choose between heating and eating last winter. The Prime Minister should now apologise for his terrible judgment.— Kemi Badenoch, Conservative Party leader; criticized the government's reversal on the winter fuel payment policy.
