POLL: Should the rest of the UK follow Scotland and bring back Winter Fuel Payment?

  • The devolved Scottish Government has announced that all pensioners in Scotland will receive a winter heating payment in 2025/26.

The article from Express.co.uk discusses a poll regarding the potential scrapping of the Winter Fuel Payment in Scotland, which is part of a broader debate on welfare benefits. The Scottish Government is considering replacing the Winter Fuel Payment with a new benefit called the Pension Age Winter Heating Payment (PAWHP). This change has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it could leave many elderly people worse off, especially during the cost of living crisis. The poll, conducted by Survation for the Scottish Conservatives, found that 63 percent of Scots oppose the removal of the Winter Fuel Payment, highlighting significant public resistance to the proposed changes. The article also mentions that the Scottish Government has promised that no one would be worse off under the new system, but skepticism remains among the public and opposition parties.
