Those that only get full state pension as income, get £3.05/week more than those now eligible for the basic Pension Credit. Overall, those on Pension Credit now get more with the Winter Fuel Allowance included.
It was a universal non-means tested payment, because it would be too difficult to identify those near the bottom end of income.
