Speculation has been growing that the State Pension could be means-tested like Winter Fuel Payments.
Following on from the Labour Government’s announcement that over 10 million older people who are not receiving income-related benefits such as Pension Credit will no longer qualify for Winter Fuel Payments of up to £300, speculation has been growing that the State Pension could be means-tested in the future.
“I can confirm that the State Pension is not subject to a means-test, and we have no plans to change this.” “It is easy for some people to say that you can claim a means-tested benefit, such as Pension Credit, but as you get older you may not have the mental energy levels to cope with completing a 23-page form, including listing all your assets, and notifying DWP of any change.”
