  • @vtechead1

    Labour claims they will save £1.2 billion by stopping the winter fuel payment. They are encouraging pensioners who have not applied yet for pension credit to do so. This will allow them to be paid the winter money. If every pensioner who is eligible for pension credit, actually claimed, it would cost Labour £2 billion !

    Have they completed any cost implications of removing the WFA, especially at short notice? Pensioners had little time to budget and set aside money from their income.
    One pensioner admitted to hospital with community acquired pneumonia is likely to cost the NHS between £3,500 and £11,600, according to a paper available on PubMed Hospitalization costs of adult community-acquired pneumonia in England James Campling et al. J Med Econ. 2022 Jan-Dec.

  • @allensmith9419
    @allensmith9419 Час назад +1

    the pension did not rise by an amount equal to that of the triple lock because 20% was lost due to no rise in the personal allowance. I personally, at 83years lost around £500 £300 fuel allowance plus the increase in fuel costs. labour uses a convenient calculator . Also the pension rise doesn't come into effect until April 2025 just in time for summer not winter.
