Peter and Florence Fanning are challenging the UK and Scottish government's decision to scrap the universal winter fuel benefit for pensioners, claiming it was unlawful.
Govan Law Centre expressed satisfaction over the judicial review's approval, emphasizing the significance of the case for the elderly community affected by the benefit changes.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves stated the need for means-testing of the winter fuel benefit arises from a substantial public finance deficit inherited from the Conservative government.
The scrapping of the universal benefit has faced criticism from trade unions and senior citizen advocacy groups, highlighting concerns over the government's lack of consultation.
