Hi i heard someone say today that the heating allowance was going to be cut from £250 to £200 and over eighty from £400 to £300 anyone know anything about this ?
Hi i just found this Older people will receive up to £100 less from the government in payments to help with their winter energy bills – a cut George Osborne failed to mention in his budget speech, or include in the budget document.
The winter fuel payment is currently worth £250 for the over-60s and £400 for the over-80s, following a temporary uplift of £50 and £100 respectively – introduced by the previous government in 2008. It is this top-up that the current government is allowing to expire from winter 2011
