When the pensioner hating Labour government got rid of the winter fuel benefit, they said don’t worry some people can get it via pension credit. Current backlog for pension credit, over 91,000. So eligible people won’t get it until the worst of winter is over.
Another Labour shambles.

I think we should cancel the MP's ridiculous final salary Pensions, a ripoff that we can't afford.
We will give them the pittance they put in back, and tell them just before we do it, so we told them in advance.
Fine for the WASPI women, fine for them I say.
