early day motion re winter fuel payments for severley disabled people
Fri 10-Jun-05 02:20 PM

'That this House notes with concern that, while pensioners over the age of 60 can claim a winter fuel payment, there are 1.27 million severely disabled adults and children under 60 who are not eligible for the payment, many of whom feel the cold intensely and cannot afford to heat their home adequately; and therefore calls on the Government to extend the winter fuel payment to disabled people who receive the middle or higher rate of the disability living allowance care component or the higher rate of the mobility component.'
