Second Update: House of Lords pass motion of regret over the means testing of pensioners' winter fuel allowance davidhencke.com/2024/09/08/hou…

We didn't do impact assessment of winter fuel payment cut, No 10 admits. Why? Even if 880,000 pensioners below the Pension Credit (PC) ceiling claim PC, over a million trapped between the PC ceiling and poverty line will lose WFP. Women affected most. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Anneliese Dodds Sarah Champion Sarah Owen MP So does that mean that you will make sure that Minister for DWP Liz Kendall will agree to the right of mediation talks under Int & domestic law with #CEDAWinLAW CEDAWinLAW THE ONE BRIGHT LIGHT ? Justice delayed is justice denied #50sWomen #DebtOfHonour #Discrimination #WomensRights

Electricity bills for France households to drop 10% -15%, global energy prices fall. UK - energy bills up 10% in Oct, more in January. Why? France - relies on nuclear, less on gas, EDF publicly owned. UK - relies on gas, privatised energy, profiteering connexionfrance.com/news/electrici…

“Ministers did not carry out a specific impact assessment on the withdrawal of the winter fuel payment from the bulk of pensioners, such as the potential effect on illness and death rates among older people, Downing Street has said.” Shameful. dlvr.it/TD8yTZ

How can #olderpersons exercise their #HumanRights to be self-sufficient & in control of their #finances if Govt change the rules at the 11th hr & pushes larger nos, especially #women, further into #poverty? Cut-off for #pensioncredit only £218.15/wk #50sWomen #WinterFuelPayment

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has refused to rule out scrapping the single-person council tax discount, saying decisions on the public finances had to be looked at "in the round" If that is the case, it could further hit some pensioners living alone who have already suffered the

Peter Stefanovic Precedent set when no impact assessment conducted prior to the introduction of the Pensions Act 1995. This has been noted in discussions and evidence regarding the impact of the Act, particularly on #50sWomen who were significantly affected by changes in the SPA #CEDAWinLAW

This DWP analysis confirms the hardest hit by cutting Winter Fuel Allowance will yet again be disabled people and the most elderly. In other words, the most vulnerable in our society. How can this policy be morally right?

Govt knew 780,000 pensioners entitled to winter fuel payment will lose out. 83% of aged 80 or over will also miss out. “around 71% – 1.6 million – of people with a disability will still lose entitlement”. Disastrous policy. Still, no impact assessment. independent.co.uk/news/uk/dwp-go…

Growing #CEDAWinLAW argument of indirect #discrimination on sex grounds against women - inc. #50sWomen - as more women are impacted as they are dependent on #WinterFuelAllowance as more women are caught just above #PensionCredit limit cc EHRC

OMG newly elected Labour MP Peter Lamb says pensioners losing their winter fuel allowance have a “choice”whether to put the heating on. Yes, the choice is put the heating on and don’t eat – or don’t and possibly die. Is this the calibre of MP in this new Gov. God help us!

Prem Sikka Anyone living alone on only full NewSP £11,502 pa are classed as better-off & cannot claim PC. #50sWomen savings gone to survive lives of discrimination + 6 years added to SPA have no safety net. Deaths will follow.
