What the petition asks
Research shows necessities such as heat and food are being chosen between for pensioners and we understand that through inflation some people don’t have enough money per month.
We think the Government paying 15% of some over 65’s heating bill would leave money for them at the end of the month. However we do understand the rich pensioners do not need this as much so we think the Government should set a cut off point for who is and isn’t getting heating paid for.
