There isn't an actual test. As a pensioner i got the Winter Fuel Allowance, but because i get a disability allowance, that means i don't get Pension Credit. Therefore i won't get the 'heating' allowance.

Let's moan for the sake of it!
The heating allowance isn't means tested - even those living aboard who receive a UK pension get it. The most needy on other benefits will still receive it so it's not been scrapped. Seems sensible to me.

The train strikes have been going on for over a year and have impacted millions of commuters.
Again it needed to be sorted, and has.
Similar with the junior doctors.

The Tories deliberately kicked these issues into the long grass for someone else to sort out and you've jumped on the it.

Wait for the Post office and infected blood scandals to get sorted!!

Also if CGT is increased in the next budget, which it should as the rates are quite low, please note that 1% of people pay CGT. It is a tax that most 'normal' people never pay

Like I said, the cost to the public purse of the strikes exceeded the additional cost to the Treasury of "caving in".

It was political grandstanding by the previous government who have proved unfit to govern.

Easy to resolve disputes if you give the other side everything they want

Probably better than a very long protracted dispute that doesn't help the economy or the long suffering commuter.Also someone has to run the country and Labour were democratically elected.

Precisely. Pension Credit is means-tested and you now get the fuel allowance only if you are receiving Pension Credit. Ergo the fuel allowance is in turn means-tested. Another way of looking at it is that the fuel allowance has been removed from the state pension and added to Pension Credit.
