National Pensioners' Convention supports Unite's legal action against winter fuel allowance

THE National Pensioners’ Convention (NPC) is backing legal action by union Unite against the government’s decision to end the winter fuel allowance for all but the poorest pensioners.

Unite has launched a judicial review notice, which gave the government until today to reverse its decision.

Following the government’s failure to do so, Unite will now seek a judicial review of the government’s withdrawal of the winter fuel allowance at the High Court.
