I'd like to know who is involved in means testing. As it really should include a wide range of people from a wide range of backgrounds. A lot of rules get put in place by people who have no experience of living at the bottom rung (or below it). TBH I am not elderly (although the hot water bottle on my back suggests otherwise) but I could do with a winter fuel allowance! Am currently on UC and unemployed through no fault of my own, and I don't get enough each month to pay the summer bills, this winter is going to be all blankets and hot water bottles again like last year.
