Hinckley and Bosworth Liberal Democrats are calling for the unfair and unjust Labour Winter Fuel Payment cut to be reversed.

Spearheading the campaign, Michael Mullaney said “I have spoken to many pensioners here in Leicestershire who are worried about the government’s plan to take the Winter Fuel Payment away from almost all pensioners.

“Many pensioners I speak to are worried that with the cost of living crisis and Fuel bills set to rise again, it will be a real struggle to pay fuel bills this winter.”

“Under the government plans the vast majority of pensioners in Leicestershire will lose their Winter Fuel Payments. 129,000 a staggering 92.5% of pensioners will lose the payments under the government plan. That will include many pensioners who are struggling to make ends meet.

“The governments plan as it stands is harsh and cruel it will see several pensioners struggling and having to make choices between heating and eating"
