Sir Keir Starmer has announced a significant U-turn regarding last year's cuts to winter fuel payments, which had stripped over nine million pensioners of vital financial assistance. The government's decision will broaden the eligibility criteria for these payments, potentially restoring up to £300 for many eligible individuals. While further details about the revised thresholds were not disclosed, these changes are expected to be announced at a later fiscal event, providing hope for support for pensioners impacted by the previous restrictions.
