    You mean the working age benefits that are replaced once someone reaches retirement age?

    No one getting those benefits now. Is also getting this winter fuel allowance.

      It’s almost like Sabre doesn’t actually know what he’s on about.

        If you say so. PIP is literally the personal independence payment, there to provide disabled people a semblance of life. If they need that, surely they need help with heating. And the state pension, speaks for itself.

          You have to be under the state pension age to apply for pip, whereas winter fuel payments are for retired people…

              Well, no, the old and poor will still be eligible is my understanding. It’s just now David Attenborough can’t get it because he can probably afford to heat his home on his own.

          Pip is not income based. Disabled millionaires are entitled to it.

          Because it is about the difference in cost of being disabled not poverty.

          State pension is not income based. It is a right you pay for as you work.
