Scots couple begin court battle over winter fuel payment cut
Scottish Daily Express
|March 14, 2025
THE UK Government was "blinded" by financial imperatives when it cut the winter fuel payment, a court has heard.
Florence and Peter Fanning, from Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, started their legal challenge against Labour and SNP ministers yesterday.
The couple want the Court of Session in Edinburgh to restore the payment as part of a judicial review. Mr Fanning, 73, receives a state pension and work pension, while Mrs Fanning, 72, gets the state pension.
Struggle
They do not meet the criteria to qualify for pension credit and decided to fight for the benefit to be restored for all pensioners.
Their lawyer, Joanne Cherry KC, told the court they are "elderly pensioners" who both have disabilities. "Like most pensioners they live on a fixed income and struggle to afford to heat their home in the winter," she said.
"They are exactly the sort of people the winter fuel payment was designed to help."

Having read his explosive Insta post I felt something weird about Brooklyn... pity
I ALWAYS had Brooklyn Beckham down as a thick, spoiled, entitled nepo baby — the kind of young man who, thank God, was born into huge wealth and privilege, because it was clear he wasn’t equipped to make his own way in the world.
