As we all know only those on benefits will get a winter fuel payment
Surely there cannot be anyone who does not know this?
So why are they wasting tax payers money on sending a letter to everyone who is *not* getting it?
I can understand them sending a letter to those who *will* get it (although even that seems rather pointless)
A quick google suggests there are 12.6 million of pensionable age, I have no idea what rates the DWP get from the post office for mass mailing but a second stamp is .85p, now, with paper, printing, an envelope and means to produce the letter, lets say .50p a letter
So 6.3 million pounds of tax payers money for nothing
Where is the sense in that?
