Silver Voices and the Daily Express delivered it to 10 Downing Street two weeks ago today, calling for pensioners to be protected in the Budget.
But the campaign group’s director Dennis Reed criticised the PM for not acknowledging the petition or accompanying letter.
He said: “As the Prime Minister and Cabinet stand in silence on Remembrance Day, military veterans who have lost their winter fuel payment can be forgiven for thinking that those who survived are having their lives put at risk by the cruel cuts of this Government.
“The poppy stands for respect and yet the Prime Minister is disrespecting the older generations by failing to respond to our massive petition, delivered with the Express. If he wants to regain the trust of older people he must introduce extra mitigating measures on energy support before the depths of winter hit us.
“We are particularly concerned about the three million pensioners just above the pension credit limit, who receive no benefits, and will include many retired service men and women, and who appear to have been cut loose to sink or swim by this Government.”
