If they're cold, there's warm places that they can go to during the day. The only reason why I couldn't go is because the 10am to 3pm opening hours didn't match with my sleeping routine.

The fuel payment should be reinstated with following amendments the threshold should be increased a long with increased amount of the payment for those at the lower end.
Why should someone be forced to go out in the cold to find somewhere warm to stay, they should be able to heat their own homes

@Avectoijesuismoi Here's the thing, though. I'm not as caught up in the winter fuel payments angle as you seem to be.
See, I know that I'm not the only one that went through half of December with no working boiler and had the temperatures drop so low that it's cracked one of my windows.
My advice isn't just for the elderly, but for everyone who is struggling to heat their homes through no fault of their own this winter.
They're not going to reinstate the benefit so soon after they took it away, and, even if they did reinstate it today... there's still going to be people who are cold in their homes this Christmas because they can't afford to pay the heating bills.
I'm trying to keep them out of hospital, too. I know how much it sucks to sleep and live in the exact same outfit because it's the warmest thing that you own.
Sometimes, getting out and being seen is the only way to get counted and make the true scale of the problem visible and unavoidable.
