Reinstate the Winter Fuel Allowance for those who are paid the old state pension

Summary

We believe the Chancellor of the Exchequer should reinstate the Winter Fuel Allowance for pensioners on the old state pension who are not eligible for state benefits. As of 24 April 2024 the full new state pension is £221.20 per week. The full old basic state pension is £169.50 per week Each year the old and the new state pensions are increased by the same percentage based on the triple lock so the differential widens annually. Those in receipt of the old state pension who do not qualify for state benefits are increasingly disadvantaged year on year. We believe the Government should restore the Winter Fuel Allowance to those pensioners involved to remedy the unfairness.
