A Citizens Advice survey reveals that one in four people may turn off heating this winter due to rising energy costs, with 39% of low-income families affected.
The expected 9% increase in energy bills to an annual average of £1,714 could push 48% of households to reduce heating or hot water use this winter.
Citizens Advice has raised concerns that without urgent government intervention, households may face impossible choices between heating their homes and meeting other daily expenses.
The worries are heightened for families with children, where 31% reported needing to cut back on heating due to escalating energy costs, exacerbating financial strain.
