More could be set to miss out on a Winter Fuel Payment in England and Wales this winter
A stark warning has been sounded over the Winter Fuel Payment as a new report reveals that 1.6 million individuals on disability benefits, including those receiving Personal Independence Payment , could be stripped of a £300 payment this winter. The Social Security Advisory Committee has scrutinised the impact of the Chancellor's recent alterations to eligibility criteria set by the Department for Work and Pensions .
The committee's report states: "We consider it essential that the Department urgently reviews its current Pension Credit take-up campaign to ensure those receiving Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance and Personal Independence Payment are sufficiently engaged and aware of the options available to them."
