Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 2024Contribution
This is a shabby and unworthy policy which will hit the poorest and most vulnerable elderly. Such measures show disrespect for those most in need and will have plunged many pensioner households into insecurity and fear of the future. We need a considered approach to policy-making that affects our most vulnerable citizens. Knee-jerk reactions are completely inappropriate in this context.
