Expand the winter fuel allowance to other vulnerable people.

Expand the winter fuel allowance to other vulnerable people. — 896 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition 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.
