Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat), on Monday, 14 October 2024, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 40 members in total.


Veterans and the Winter Fuel Payment

That this House expresses its concern that changes to Winter Fuel Payment eligibility rules will adversely impact veterans; notes that these changes have been introduced with little notice as the winter months approach, and have been made without a full impact assessment; further notes with concern that this approach fails to take into account those with high energy needs because of illness or disability, those who live in energy inefficient homes, and those on modest incomes just above the entitlement threshold for Pension Credit; and calls on the Government to protect veterans from losing this crucial support by reversing the cuts to the Winter Fuel Payment.
