The Winter Fuel Payment will again be a universal payment in England and Wales for state pensioners this winter, yet it’ll be clawed back via the tax system where someone earns over £35,000. How will this work in practice? What counts as £35,000 earnings, and what if there are two, three or more pensioners in a house.

Martin also answers questions on saving for a pension, who should opt out of receiving winter fuel payment and how to avoid being scammed.

Pint rights: we also look at how to make sure you get the pint you paid for.
