Millions of pensioners will lose winter fuel payments as government wins vote on cut

Quick Glance: Vote Reduces Winter Fuel Payments for Pensioners

Members of Parliament voted to cut winter fuel payments, limiting support to only the poorest pensioners.

This change is expected to decrease the number of eligible recipients from 11.4 million to 1.5 million, saving the government £1.4 billion.

Criticism arose from Labour MPs and charities, who warned that the policy forces poorer pensioners to choose between heating and food.

Ministers defended the cut, citing their commitment to the triple lock system for state pensions.
