Winter Fuel Payments

Volume 492: debated on Friday 15 May 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change if he will estimate the cost to the public purse of extending eligibility for the £200 annual winter fuel payment to all people with spinal cord injuries. (272348)

I have been asked to reply.

The information requested is not available.

Winter fuel payments are made to people aged 60 or over, including those who are disabled. We do not collect statistics on the number of people aged below 60 with spinal cord injuries.
