Unite claims the government did not follow correct procedure and has instructed lawyers who are asking the High Court for an urgent judicial review of the government’s decision

The union has applied to the High Court for a judicial review of the government’s decision to cut the Winter Fuel Payment for all but the poorest pensioners

Members of a trade union and pensioner groups took to the streets of Cambridge city centre on Saturday (November 30). This was in protest at the Government's decision to make Winter Fuel Payments means tested - meaning millions will no longer receive the benefit.
