Pensioners will be forced to answer 243 questions over 22 pages in order to claim winter fuel payments. The Department for Work and Pensions has been accused of deliberately making pension credit inaccessible over the form, the Telegraph reported. It comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced winter fuel payments would be means tested, effectively cutting support for millions of pensioners. The decision to scrap the payment for millions of pensioners came after the government accused the Conservatives of creating a “black hole” in public finances. Head of Policy and Influencing at Independent Age, Morgan Vine, and Telegraph money reporter Madeleine Ross, who broke the story, join Nick Ferrari to discuss.
