Quick Glance: Pension Reform Risks Fuel Payments for Seniors

Five out of six pensioners below the poverty line may risk losing their winter fuel payments, according to former pensions minister Sir Steve Webb.

Analysis indicates that around 1.6 million older individuals do not receive pension credit despite living below the poverty threshold.

The government plans to limit winter fuel payments to those on pension credit or other means-tested benefits, drawing criticism from various groups.

Alternative methods for targeting fuel payments are being considered, but current proposals may leave many vulnerable pensioners without support.
