Expand the winter fuel allowance to other vulnerable people.

Background

Instead of means testing the winter fuel payment for pensioners, we think all over 60s, those with cancer or long term sick patients should be entitled to £100 per month for each of gas and electricity from Oct to Jan paid directly to the energy company, or £200 per month for all electric homes.

Additional details

We believe this could help cut hospital admissions and the associated cost to the NHS.
