I advise anyone to be a lazy so and so all your life don't have a private pension and don't save. You will then get minimum pension, but that will be made up by pension credit,you will also get every other benefit on top. Easy Peasy.
I'm in the same boat. My father drummed it into me that I must pay into a pension scheme for financial security when older. I am now 74 and now worse off as just over the income limit. So upset and worried

Freedom of Information, it's outrageous what they get away with!!!
No defender of MP's but their pensions work like any other they will get 1/40, 1/50 or 1/60 of their annual salary for every year of service dependent on their contribution rate. The £150,000 figure is just made up and an MP on a salary of £91,000 at a 1/50th rate of contribution for 30 years employment would be get a nice pension of around £55,000 same as any public sector worker. I am one of them cruel people who thinks means testing the fuel allowance is obviously the right idea. But fail to understand why for the life of me they didn't delay this for a year when the pension increase happens (negating the loss) and giving the time required to at least get a high number of eligible people onto credit. My father who is now passed had a pension of around £30k plus my Mum around £7k and both full state pensions. They gave their allowance to the Trussell Trust for people who really need it. Absolute insanity that a 5th of pensioners are millionaires (assets included which doesn't mean cash rich) get £300 under the current system whilst the poorest group in society families (used to be pensioners pre Blair who lifted pensioners massively) get 0 fuel help. So the policy is not in essence 'cruel', but fair although some will fall through the net. What is cruel is bringing it in so quickly and crudely. On a side note the treasury looked at this under the Tories and it was leaked that they didn't go ahead, not because it was cruel but politically toxic as it's their demographic who would suffer exactly the same as the release of prisoners, when most pensioners are very 'tough on crime' in outlook (an ideology that hasn't worked). Labour must believe that this is the right thing to do, as it certainly ain't popular and think they have calculated, that if things get better in the country it will be forgotten by the time of the next election, a risky move, as certain we will see headlines this winter of some poor old man or woman who has died of hypothermia, images that will stick like Bojo partying whilst the Queen sits alone at her husbands funeral and are not easily forgotten. So after that waffle, I am not against the policy but the disgraceful swift implementation that gives no time for people to adjust, they say admitting mistakes in politics is suicide but most,even those who are ardently anti-Labour would respect the government if they said 'we have listened and will delay this until next year when the triple lock kicks in and we have time to get as many as we can on pension credit'. The other irony is if all eligible claimed pension credit it would wipe out any savings from the removal and could actually cost more.
No immigrant is illegal until they have been processed and discovered not to have a genuine claim to apply for asylum. This term is inhumane as asylum can only be claimed once a person has arrived in the country they wish to make their home.
They are not illegal immigrants, they are asylum seekers until they are processed, 70% of them are accepted as genuine asylum seekers, when processed, a shame the last government chose to use them as propaganda and not process them.
Difficult choices are the ones put to Parliament for a vote. This was an easy decision, simply carried out because it faced massive opposition otherwise.
Go look into foreign aid , it's a money laundering operation back into their own pockets , I can even show anyone who's interested how they do it , they hide it but not very well , think charities , think companies house , you'd be suprised what you can find in their including what other business interests mps have , go look for a day , you think your angry now 😂😂😂 wait till you see what I've seen
They won’t stop foreign aid because it is used as a guise to influence the recipient countries politically for the richest in society. Why don’t they stop giving all this money to Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia? Because it’s all about power and keeping in line with USA hegemony.
If there is no money, how come UK alone gave UKraine over £60 billions? UK dental care is so bad the People from UKraine are returning there at present for dental care!
The labour party just sees pensioners as having outlived their usefulness. That's what's really going on here. Most of them paid taxes all their lives and kept the country going through their hard work. Labour sees them as dead weight now that they are no longer "producing".
As a pensioner I'm £3.50 a month over the limit for pension credit. That £3.50 will heat my small bungalow for half a day. What do I do the rest of the month ??
Use your pension that you should have been paying into all your working life. Look at young people now, they will have nowhere near the govt support you have had over your lifetime, how many more handouts do your generation want? You could buy a house for less than 40k ffs when you were fit working age.
@@mikeclifford7740no, I think the cut off should be pensioners who pay tax don't get the WFA, that's £12,570. Surely that's possible for DWP to find out who these people are?
@@MrHennoGarvieyou firstly need to get your fact right before you go shouting your mouth off. For your information many of the pensioners today fought for my country so I could be free, when a house was sold for 40k the salary was a lot lower, we didnt have all the free loaders of today back then. Pensioners paid their dues into the pension scheme.
@@mikeclifford7740because they know fine well that the £11400 is a level that denies the maximum number of people the pension credits, its not accidental.
I have just been to my local supermarket and noticed an elderly gentleman browsing the shelves, I overheard him say to someone how anxious he was now buying groceries...he has had to cut back ....do I eat or heat. I am back home having a coffee but cannot get that gentleman out of my mind. Some must be so frightened, This government is cruel.......ie: causing pain, heartless, inhuman ...plain wicked.
Your comments made here have really upset me this evening - no elderly person should be put in this position, I am just so ashamed that any UK government could do this.
I find it frankly astonishing that Labour claimed that paying the Winter Fuel Allowance would crash the economy, yet handing the train drivers a pay increase *larger* than the annual basic state pension *won't* ?? If finances were genuinely so desperate, then foreign aid should be stopped, in order to look after the senior citizens of this nation, because they've both done their bit and paid into the system. The Chinese female theatre group who are receiving a foreign aid payment, haven't paid a penny into the UK's coffers. Any government has a moral duty to look after it's own citizens, sod Chinese theatre groups, or spending £60k of taxpayer's money on private photographers just to make a certain person "look" better. Let her be judged on her actions in government, not her appearance..
Not to mention the billions going to wars abroad. There is plenty of money: labour party just sees pensioners as having outlived their usefulness. That's what's really going on here. They paid taxes all their lives and kept the country going through their hard work. Now labour sees them as dead weight now that they are no longer "producing". There is plenty of money to look after them, labour just doesn't want to spend it on them.
Martin Lewis for PM! He has a REAL grip of the key issues! I am fortunate in that Idon't need the winter fuel payment and was happy to give it up. I am FURIOUS that a LABOUR government and abandoned so many pensioners in such a shabby move.
The tories took a lot of the pensioners post 2016 out of Pension Credit provision with the maximum flat rate. Before 2010 it was more flexible. But the next administration tightened rules, precluded mixed aged couples and reduced savings credit.
SHAME on any working class people who ever vote Labour again. 7:00 She says Labour are driving to get more people onto pension credit, shouldn't you do that BEFORE you cut winter fuel allowance?
The idea is to reduce the defecit, not increase it! It's a universal credit. It's really easy and cheap to administer, everybody gets it. Why should millionaires get it?
Pension credit it a very low bar over £13k or over £10k in savings you won't qualify. The only thing the Government are interested in, is pumping us pensioners with the FIu or CV j@bs
@@simonpaine2347. Do you mean the millionaires sitting in parliament who get winter fuel payments for their second homes, while they sit in the warmth of the houses of parliament, with their subsidies restaurant chowing down on the finest we can offer them, not to mention the subsidised bar. Are they millionaires you mean.
All of this doesn’t address the fact that the UK is 15th on the list of pensions paid on the European continent. The UK pension is a miserable 38% of the European average. If the pension was decent the winter fuel payment would not be necessary.
If you get pension credit on savings but you don't get guaranteed pension credit do you get the WFA or not and as for pensions yes we work longer retire later and get a pension lower than the average of most of Europe, and as for the personal allowance of £12,500 it should be by now £20,000.
The Tories were going to do it, it was in their manifesto, why they allowed their energy donating friends to constantly raise prices so tax payers gave their shareholders even more dividends for 14 years via the wfa is criminal..
My advice to my mum? Put the heating on, get into debt if necessary, we’ll solve that problem after the winter. My mums ok, she’s got a bit in the bank and she’s just above the threshold for pension credit, thanks to my dad; they scrimped and saved to buy their own tiny two bedroomed bungalow, as child I’d say we were poor … I remember those days well … so she’s not going to get any extra help from the taxpayers, but I’d go cold myself to keep my mum warm if necessary.
@@uk6496 so the principle is to save money but by targeting it to everyone it will cost more money than now due to pension credit payments 🤣 you commies are funny

@@MrHennoGarvie Ignorant comment. If a pensioner bought a house at those prices back in the 70s/80s, it doesn't mean their income has kept pace. They have council tax, energy bills to pay. The cost of living in this country is very high.
@@MrHennoGarvie and here we have a labour government lackey are you getting payed to comment and stick up for a bent government ??? You’re fast with your comment but only a select few why ?? We all no what type of person would try and defend such a shambles of a government
@@rb1062 Correct, the cost of living is very high, most people unlike pensioners dont have a portfolio of property to fall back on though. They should have plenty saved up, over 50% of pensioners have savings/property value of 500k, no other group is as well of as pensioners. Your argument is correct but apply to any other group and they are much worse off than pensioners.
@@MrHennoGarvie You sound like one of these young bitter gen z knobheads to be honest. YOU like the rest of us, know nothing of a persons circumstances or events faced through their lifes. The politics of envy never wins.
And the stupidity of this policy is this: they say they are scrapping winter file payments to save money. If they put everyone eligible for pension credit onto the scheme 780k pensioners and gave them back their fuel allowance it would actually cost MORE than the current policy
Labour already knew when they did the calculations that most will not claim it because these poorest pensioners won't know they no longer receive it, or won't be able to access the forms online or get through on the phone due to a lack of civil service staff in their call centres as many of these pensioners are extremely old, infirm, don't use the internet and rely on others to care for them, including their loved ones. It's an absolute shameless raid on some of our most vulnerable people, but Labour need to free up some social housing for those that need it, don't they? It's a scandal and I hope this government is the last Labour government in living memory, for they should be out in 4-5 years' time and should never be allowed to return.
Too few to give them a mandate to govern. There should be a lawful criteria regarding percentage of voters to enable this shambles of a PM and his incompetent comrades to dictate to us.

Well done Martin. Someone in the comments has made a very valid comment that" Uk pension is 38% of European average pensions and if the UK pensions were decent in the first place the winter fuel allowance might not be so crucial". People who work hard all their lives, should be able to turn the heating on without worrying that they just can't afford to do so. Also its not pensioners fault that 25% extra charge has been added to our energy bills because of the misguided concept of net zero.
Recently i was in a large Chinese city. The pollution despite all taxis and most motorbikes being electric was very bad. Unless these types of cities are less wasteful and polluting, Millibands idea of the UK going net zero saving the climate is so delusional it is staggering. So the extra 25% needs to be more than halved and that would save one months worth of energy in value.

@@MrKeefy1967 Body language betrays your unconscious true reactions to awkward questions if you start to tell false answers. It is pretty close to being completely accurate. Notice sometimes how people fumble for an answer and watch how their body exhibits twitches and other unconscious signals.( Tapping of fingers, leg shaking, knees bouncing, eyes blinking, ears going red and so on.)
There are many forms of communication and body language can be considered as confirmation or denial of what someone is saying.
Well said Martin good man
Well said Martin. They just don’t listen! My Mum is 93 and because she gets £12,000 a year, she misses out! Why did she bother paying into a pension all her life ,and working all her life, when they do this!!! Starmer and his gang won’t be cold this year in their multi bedroom houses!
Agree we were encouraged to take out private pension I'm same as yr mum 😮
I advise anyone to be a lazy so and so all your life don't have a private pension and don't save. You will then get minimum pension, but that will be made up by pension credit,you will also get every other benefit on top. Easy Peasy.
My folks are 82 and 76. My heart breaks for your mum, I'm furious.
I'm in the same boat. My father drummed it into me that I must pay into a pension scheme for financial security when older. I am now 74 and now worse off as just over the income limit. So upset and worried

Freedom of Information, it's outrageous what they get away with!!!
Liz Truss, ex-PM, gets £115,000/year for life, for her 49-day premiership as does every ex-PM.
No defender of MP's but their pensions work like any other they will get 1/40, 1/50 or 1/60 of their annual salary for every year of service dependent on their contribution rate. The £150,000 figure is just made up and an MP on a salary of £91,000 at a 1/50th rate of contribution for 30 years employment would be get a nice pension of around £55,000 same as any public sector worker. I am one of them cruel people who thinks means testing the fuel allowance is obviously the right idea. But fail to understand why for the life of me they didn't delay this for a year when the pension increase happens (negating the loss) and giving the time required to at least get a high number of eligible people onto credit. My father who is now passed had a pension of around £30k plus my Mum around £7k and both full state pensions. They gave their allowance to the Trussell Trust for people who really need it. Absolute insanity that a 5th of pensioners are millionaires (assets included which doesn't mean cash rich) get £300 under the current system whilst the poorest group in society families (used to be pensioners pre Blair who lifted pensioners massively) get 0 fuel help. So the policy is not in essence 'cruel', but fair although some will fall through the net. What is cruel is bringing it in so quickly and crudely. On a side note the treasury looked at this under the Tories and it was leaked that they didn't go ahead, not because it was cruel but politically toxic as it's their demographic who would suffer exactly the same as the release of prisoners, when most pensioners are very 'tough on crime' in outlook (an ideology that hasn't worked). Labour must believe that this is the right thing to do, as it certainly ain't popular and think they have calculated, that if things get better in the country it will be forgotten by the time of the next election, a risky move, as certain we will see headlines this winter of some poor old man or woman who has died of hypothermia, images that will stick like Bojo partying whilst the Queen sits alone at her husbands funeral and are not easily forgotten. So after that waffle, I am not against the policy but the disgraceful swift implementation that gives no time for people to adjust, they say admitting mistakes in politics is suicide but most,even those who are ardently anti-Labour would respect the government if they said 'we have listened and will delay this until next year when the triple lock kicks in and we have time to get as many as we can on pension credit'. The other irony is if all eligible claimed pension credit it would wipe out any savings from the removal and could actually cost more.
Pensioners freezing this winter , illegal imagrants in hotels.
Shame on you Labour.
Pensioners vote Tory. Immigrants will vote Labour. Simple explanation!
Illegal immigrants can’t vote.
No immigrant is illegal until they have been processed and discovered not to have a genuine claim to apply for asylum. This term is inhumane as asylum can only be claimed once a person has arrived in the country they wish to make their home.
They are not illegal immigrants, they are asylum seekers until they are processed, 70% of them are accepted as genuine asylum seekers, when processed, a shame the last government chose to use them as propaganda and not process them.
Difficult choices are the ones put to Parliament for a vote. This was an easy decision, simply carried out because it faced massive opposition otherwise.
Thank you Martin Lewis. If only we could have political leaders of your caliber.

I find it frankly astonishing that Labour claimed that paying the Winter Fuel Allowance would crash the economy, yet handing the train drivers a pay increase *larger* than the annual basic state pension *won't* ?? If finances were genuinely so desperate, then foreign aid should be stopped, in order to look after the senior citizens of this nation, because they've both done their bit and paid into the system. The Chinese female theatre group who are receiving a foreign aid payment, haven't paid a penny into the UK's coffers. Any government has a moral duty to look after it's own citizens, sod Chinese theatre groups, or spending £60k of taxpayer's money on private photographers just to make a certain person "look" better. Let her be judged on her actions in government, not her appearance..

Not good enough, these are proud people. They shouldn't have to ask.
We've didn't get any letters
This is what an interview should be like , looking gormless Susanna
nah, why interject when lewis was on fire....? and as far as money matters and benefits, he's pretty much an expert on the matter... never interupt and expert hauling a politician over the coals...
She had to get it in about films, it just makes a mockery of winter fuel concerns.
She is just being the fall guy for Reeves and Starmer for a sack of cash and freebies.
All MP's get a General Election bonus of £30,000. £30,000x650 MP's it will cost the British taxpayers £19,500,000 so should help keep MP's warm this winter eh?
Not a good time to be a pensioner... This Labour Government absolutely hate them...
Or disabled they're next on right wing starmers list
I'm not sure who Labour love?
Not as half as much as the Tories who only paid them lip service to get their votes then failed to protect them properly from Covid.

Go Martin ❤
Grateful RESPECT, as ever, to Martin Lewis. Listen up Lisa!
Cant stand nandy, wigan is like a dump, she is more bothered about building houses, and we know who for, THERE ISNT A BLACK HOLE OR THEY WOULD HAVE FILLED IT INSTEAD OF SPENDING IT ON CARBON
And, what they are giving to all the illegal immigrants!

Well done Martin. Someone in the comments has made a very valid comment that" Uk pension is 38% of European average pensions and if the UK pensions were decent in the first place the winter fuel allowance might not be so crucial". People who work hard all their lives, should be able to turn the heating on without worrying that they just can't afford to do so. Also its not pensioners fault that 25% extra charge has been added to our energy bills because of the misguided concept of net zero.
Recently i was in a large Chinese city. The pollution despite all taxis and most motorbikes being electric was very bad.
Unless these types of cities are less wasteful and polluting, Millibands idea of the UK going net zero saving the climate is so delusional it is staggering.
So the extra 25% needs to be more than halved and that would save one months worth of energy in value.

"Warm Home Discount Scheme" £150. Why aren't we being told about this?
I suppose it doesn't help the narrative.
Or, nor, the plain GREEED of the privatised power companies....
I wish he got this angry with The Tories for the 14 years of cruel policies
agreed, austerity on the poor and working people seemingly no issue to him. A hammering of the disabled that was slammed at the UN? fine it seems. destroying the nhs? Oh go on then. I wish he had cared about these things.
@@KernowFishy
Absolutely correct
It’s the pensioners that helped build this country !
Shameful
Not all of them. The ones who are still eligible must only have the state pension to rely on, which means they probably y didnt work
And it’s politicians that are throwing this country away.
Spot on
No, it were those who came on The Empire Windrush! 😅
@@igorsagdeev7881 those pensioners are included in my comment
LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE
Absolutely. 🔥🔥🔥
Still blaming the tories and it’s their policies that are causing concern , unbelievable!!
It was the tories that gave us the debt, don't forget that.
Tories are better than Labour they not cruel like Labour not murdered pansoner Labour Party come to killing and redof old people
Tories are completely blameless since 2010.
@@eastlondon666yes but it's Labour that has made the choice to make vulnerable pensioners the first people to pay it off. It's fair enough setting a cap, the problem is it's far too low. What about getting greedy energy companies and tax dodging billionaires to pay up rather than attacking the poor
They dropped us in it.
I am very very disappointed by as I though my labour government,please fix all your wrong stop behaving worse than the Tories I can't believe my own words I don't want to die feeling this way.please listen to a simple soul.
whoever voted labour needs self reflection! What have we done!
I didn't vote labour. my family didn't. And never will vote for them . seen the Blair results and mess he made of this country.
