These cold weather payments are still not enough. Some elderly people feel too proud of taking this money and quite often put this in a tin to save.

I will never forget in my of looking after the vulnerable job is going into an OAP's house last winter. The lady who lived there was 89 years old, the house was freezing and she was sitting there with overcoats one to keep warm. And food that was that little it was bad.

She had an empty fire place but could not afford to get coal or anything to warm the place. I felt ashamed that this is allowed in this country for this person to be in that position.
