If you too feel strongly that it is our right to have the winter fuel allowance please go to the site change.org and sign the petition I have put on. We paid our taxes and national insurance all our working lives and to be denied this allowance is just not right. The government do not seem to be listening so far so let us see if this petition has any impact. change.org

Val says 49 signed after three days, not a popular cause then, but I am keeping on.
Val says Denise says it might be better to sign the petition mentioned on Connection website:
Val says vanity says fill in mine, sense says if you have not already done it fill in the Connexions.
I signed it a few weeks ago
http://www.connexionfrance.com/Winter-fuel-payment-expat-expatriate-MPs-petition-15080-view-article.html
It already has 13000 signatures.
I have just signed it - very easy, but do not fill in post code box, leave it blank. Then click on the link they send you in the follow up email. You have then 'signed' the petition.
Denise
