Protect Our Pensioners

The Government is proposing to means test the Winter Fuel Payment this winter - and only those on Pension Credit will be eligible.

Pensioners on just £220 a week will stand to lose up to £300 a year.

This is with minimal warning, and will leave thousands of pensioners cold this winter.

What else could the Government do to pensioners, who have paid into the system for their whole lives?

Join the campaign to Protect Our Pensioners and sign my petition to have your say.
