Pensioners with income under £35k a year to have winter fuel payments restored | ITV News

Pensioners with an annual income of £35,000 or less will have their winter fuel payments restored this winter, it has been announced, as the government laid out details of their u-turn following weeks of speculation. The government says the move will see nine million people receive the payments, compared to the 1.5 million people who got winter fuel payments last winter after the cut. The money will be paid all pensioners, but then clawed back from the wealthiest through increased tax payments to HMRC. Pensioners who are eligible can also opt out and not receive the payment at all. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Facebook:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on X:   / itvnews
