@paullewismoney If the state pension wasn’t so appallingly low people wouldn’t need the winter fuel payment. Bring pensions up to the minimum wage level and it’s a level playing field. Also the level where tax cuts in hasn’t been raised in ages, that would help people across the board.

I have a question (in case it’s just me) but do some TV adverts actually put you off buying what they’re advertising? Some of them really wind me up.

@MartinSLewis I think a lot of them are too proud to claim. If the state pension was raised to the minimum wage level & the level where tax kicks in was raised, no one would have to claim benefits or winter fuel payment. It would level the playing field & help a lot of other people too.
