Peter and Florence Fanning are seeking to take the Scottish and UK governments to court over the cut to winter fuel allowance.

The case asks the court to rule on whether the decision was unlawful.

It comes after the Scottish government announced its once universal benefit will now be means-tested.

The introduction of a replacement Scottish benefit was also delayed.
