As fuel allowance for pensioners is stripped back, is it fair that MP's can claim to heat their SECOND homes?! With no cap on how much they claim?! Sign this petition to strip them of this ridiculous benefit. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions

38 DegreesSign the petition: strip MPs of their fuel allowance too!Did you know this? MPs can claim back money spent on heating the second homes they need for their role - and there's no cap on what they can claim! At a time when the Winter Fuel Allowance is being scrapped and we're being told the next budget is going to be painful for many of us it seems…well a bit unfair that MPs get this help.

Save the Winter Fuel Payment petition!

We believe as many as 2 million pensioners who find paying their energy bills a real stretch will be seriously hit by this cut:

- Those on low incomes who just miss out on #Pension Credit

- Those with high energy needs because of #disability or #illness

- 1 million who don’t receive #PensionCredit for which they are eligible.

Just had my energy provider try and stick me with a 10% increase in my direct debit.

I rang them, and without argument or much discussion, they immediately took it back down to its original level.

That was good but what struck me was this rapidity of action evinced the way they KNEW they were 'chancing their arm' and riping me off.

Don't put up with this citizens.

Advice from a friend on FB. Tl;Dr as we're heading into a winter of ridiculous fuel bills it's almost always cheaper to maintain your house at a steady slightly lower temp than it is to let your house get cold and be constantly trying to get it back up to temp.
Work out what the lowest comfortable temp is and block as many drafts as you can. Also, locking doors can sometimes make the seal tighter and keep more heat in.

Screen grab of a Facebook post that reads "A lot of people will be looking for ways of saving on their energy bill this year. I decided to run a few tests. I started with a cold house - no heating for a couple of days. Raising the temperature of the house cost double the amount of money that it takes to keep the house warm. So if I am away for a day I will not turn my heating off. Then I tried lowering my house temperature by ONE degree. The cost of heating the house dropped to about a third of what it was. I never expected that big a drop. This will change depending on the outside temperature (the colder it is outside the lower the saving as a percentage). But it could make a massive difference in a mild winter."
