I don't have a problem with wealthy pensioners losing the winter fuel payment. As long as those in need including those with sky high energy needs due to disabilities are supported I don't have an issue with the decision.

Giving someone like Mick Jagger Ł300 towards his energy needs is just plain stupid.
