Reinstating winter fuel cash is the right thing to do, says UNISON

Commenting on the announcement that most pensioners are to receive the winter fuel payment again, UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea said today (Monday):

“This is the right thing to do. The government acknowledges it made a mistake.

“Restoring the fuel payment to all but the wealthiest pensioners will make a huge difference to anyone who struggled to keep warm last winter.”
