But they didn't act on it, Hymie, so you don't have a sound argument - but then there is no excuse for condemning the elderly to cold winters.  Even you know that.

[Hymie]

So the Tory supporters are feigning outrage that the Labour government has implemented one of their proposals.

TCL - But then it will be another 'benefit' alongside other benefits. And if you don't qualify for Pension Credit, even by the smallest margin, you won't receive the WFA.

It's hardly what I would understand as means-tested.

There's no 'feigning' going on.  Labour supporters - the sensible ones at least - are just as disgusted at what this mottley government has done.   You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting it.

The Winter F A ( I actually just coined that name by accident & quite like it 😄)   was a Labour initiative, brought in by Gorden Brown.

Pension Credit is a means-tested tested benefit so that is acting as what is known as a, "passport benefit" for the WFP.

No matter what method of means-testing is used for a benefit and how high the limit is, there will always be those who would be a penny over that limit and miss out on other entitlements.

blimey what a non sequitur from a mathematician !

If Pension cred is means tested ( which it is) and WFA is iinked to pension credit then it is exactly what I would understand as means tested. It's me isnt it?

A implies B, B implies C, then A implies C - modus tollens - I only say that because I know I am speaking to an intellect.
