It comes as nearly 1million Scots pensioners face brutal energy price rises next week along with the loss of the Winter Fuel Payment.
Fuel poverty campaigners have redoubled their calls to Labour to urgently reverse cuts to the Winter Fuel Payment. It comes as nearly 1million Scots pensioners face brutal energy price rises next week along with the loss of the benefit.

Coordinator Simon Francis said: “We’re now heading into the fourth winter of sky high energy prices. "For many pensioners, this winter will feel like the most expensive on record. What’s worse, there are more price increases on the horizon in January 2025.”
