My understanding is not per household but for each pensioner receiving winter fuel payments.  So £600 per household of two pensioners.

Talk about confusing!

Couldn't he have just reversed the NI tax hike?

Raising taxes, giving grants (or are they loans?), benefiting from extra revenue from higher fuel prices; it's all a bit giving with one hand and taking away with the other.
