I just received a letter from those in the High Tower, that my
winter warming allowance will be taken off and I will have to repay
last year’s allowance because I earn over the threshold. Quite right
too. I didn’t ask for it, didn’t need it, and don’t deserve. Plenty
do, and rightfully should get it. Too much cash is thrown around
because you qualify by age or you are on disability (I am and deserve
that) but it shouldn’t open the flood gates for vast amounts of
people getting extra cash which, like me, they don’t need.
I appreciate it’s going to be difficult to have everyone assessed
down to the last quid or two, but there must be millions used that
should be going elsewhere.
