💨 Abstract

Labor's U-turn on winter fuel allowances could mean around 5 million pensioners with annual incomes over £37,000 will have to repay the benefit through higher tax bills. The allowances are expected to be reinstated for many this winter, but details are still being worked out. The government is considering recouping the allowance from the estates of those who passed away after receiving the benefit.
