Should the Winter Fuel Allowance be means tested?The Winter Fuel Payment (not allowance as some are calling it) currently costs taxpayers over £2 billion every year. Probably, three-quarters of the 12.7 million who receive it automatically every November, don't know they are getting it, because they don't need it. I'm one from whom the WFP has been removed through the lying and the cheating conducted by Iain Duncan Smith. I live in the middle of France, and we have just stopped using our central heating after 198 days of use since 10 October 2016. I received the WFP for nine years, and it has been denied for 2 years. And yet, UK Pensioners living in Sicily and Sardinia still get it, because of the way in which IDS fiddled the system he imposed!
