'We're sometimes frightened to run the central heating'
A couple have begun their legal challenge against UK and Scottish government decisions to cut winter fuel payments.
Peter and Flo Fanning, from Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire, allege both governments failed to adequately consult with those of pension age and did not release an equality impact assessment on the changes.
They also claim the decision to end the £300 benefit for thousands of pensioners across the country last year was "irrational" and breached their human rights.
Both governments said they were supporting pensioners, but declined to comment on the Fanning's case.
The couple want the Court of Session in Edinburgh to set aside the policy and restore the payment as part of a judicial review.
