Both Age UK and ex Pension’s Minister Baroness Altmann have criticised the Chancellor’s announcement of the axing of Winter Fuel Payments, which will impact hard on WASPI women, many of whom are just above the pension credit level.
The WASPI response is – This is yet another blow to women born in the 1950s in particular. The government’s decision to pull the rug out from under pensioners on winter fuel payments is making WASPI women feel cheated all over again. It’s the same playbook as with the much bigger injustice of delaying our State Pension age with little or no notice. Meanwhile, Labour ministers have yet to reveal their thinking about the compensation WASPI women are owed. Another reason to contact your MP.
