Pensioners earning under £35k to get winter fuel payments

Pensioners with an annual income of £35,000 or less will have their winter fuel payments restored this winter, it has been announced, as the government laid out details of their u-turn following weeks of speculation.

The government says the move will see nine million people receive the payments, compared to the 1.5 million people who got winter fuel payments last winter after the cut.
