      Yeah because why bother reading? So much easier to just make up your own reality.

      Even just read the title you would know how much of an idiot you sound. Literally says that they are removing it from people who are not on benefits therefore anyone who is on benefits is still going to get it.

      Anyone who actually needs the winter fuel payment will still get it - people who get pension credits for example. There are many pensioners getting winter fuel payments that are plenty well off and do not need the free cash, my Grandma is one of them. She will make a fuss about how she needs it but she is by far the most well off in our family.

        Same here with my brother in law. He gives his pension to his wife as he doesn’t need it. She gave up work because they can afford it.

      This is also about communication strategy. We are make some fringe cuts now, but prepping for a big statement down the road.
