储蓄金钱专家马丁·刘易斯批评英国的冬季燃料津贴政策,指出经济情况测试系统存在缺陷。 Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis criticized the UK's Winter Fuel Allowance policy, stating that the means testing system is flawed. 大约700 000名弱势养恤金领取者,收入低于11 500英镑,因不申请养恤金信贷而错过了冬季燃料付款。 Around 700,000 vulnerable pensioners, earning under £11,500, miss out on Winter Fuel Payments because they do not claim Pension Credit. 尽管有报告说政府可以将资格门槛从11,500英镑提高到11,500英镑,但刘易斯主张采取适当的解决办法,而不是临时解决办法。 Despite reports that the government may raise the eligibility threshold from £11,500, Lewis argues for a proper fix rather than a temporary solution. 要求政府重新思考政策改变的请愿获得超过150 000人签名。 A petition calling for the government to rethink changes to the policy has gained over 150,000 signatures.
