Pensioner, 70, says he is 'scared for the winter' when he won't be able to pay for heating - as Labour prepares to scrap winter fuel allowance from millions of retirees

Daily Mail  

A pensioner has told how he is 'scared for the winter' because he can't afford to put the heating on, as Labour prepares to scrap the winter fuel allowance from millions. Simon Moss, a 70-year-old retired customer service assistant, is facing a harsh winter ahead in his cold housing association bungalow He is one of 11.8 million people in the UK who say they don't have enough to live on, according to a new report from Christians Against Poverty Labour's plans would see only pensioners on incomes low enough to receive pension credit getting winter fuel payments worth up to £300 this year, despite fears that many will be forced to choose between heating and eating. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said the Government would not 'play fast and loose' with the nation's finances as she defended the decision to means test pensioners' winter fuel payments. Mr Moss says his pension from various jobs in retail plus his state pension narrowly tips him over the edge of the threshold to not get the winter fuel allowance The thought of enduring another winter like the last one but without any help from the government fills the pensioner with anxiety However, despite this relief, managing his finances remains a constant struggle. Mr Moss says his pension from various jobs in retail plus his state pension narrowly tips him over the edge of the threshold to not get the winter fuel allowance.
