An exchange of correspondence between SSACs Chair and the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions about means-testing of Winter Fuel Payments in England and Wales from Winter 2024 to 2025, and the European Economic Area and Switzerland for winter 2024 to 2025.
The Social Security Advisory Committee considers it essential that the Department for Work and Pensions takes every reasonable step to ensure that all those eligible for a Winter Fuel Payment are supported in accessing it in a timely manner and accordingly provides a number of observations and recommendations for the Secretary of State to consider.
