Winter Fuel Payments For The Severely Disabled Under 60
EDM number 518 in 2006-07, proposed by Greg Mulholland on 18/12/2006.
That this House notes with deep concern that people under the age of 60 with severe disabilities are not eligible for winter fuel payments; recognises that they often face severe difficulties in staying warm in the winter and avoiding illness, particularly as a result of dramatically reduced mobility; further recognises this often results in highly inflated heating costs and high energy bills; further recognises the value of winter fuel payments for those over 60; and believes that the people under 60 with severe disabilities who face a similar daily struggle simply to keep warm should also be eligible for the same winter fuel payments.
This motion has been signed by a total of 86 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
