Julia Buckley, who was elected in July, was one of 53 Labour MPs who either abstained or failed to vote against the opposition motion aimed at stopping the government cutting winter fuel payments for pensioners not on pension credit.
Eight ministers were among those who did not register a vote but those are expected to have been approved by the PM to miss the ballot and one Labour MP, John Trickett, voted against the government.
The motion to cut the winter fuel payments will go ahead after a total of 348 MPs backed the government, with 228 supporting the opposition motion in Tuesday's vote.
Julia Buckley has been asked for comment.
