The government’s plan to cut winter fuel payments is projected to lead to increased excess deaths, with a prior analysis suggesting an additional 3,850 deaths among pensioners.
The proposal to eliminate these payments for millions of pensioners has been labeled the largest assault on older individuals in a generation, sparking widespread concern.
This recent cut to winter fuel payments is part of a broader package of spending reductions aimed at addressing a financial shortfall left by the previous government.
With about ten million pensioners and seven million households being impacted by these changes, the financial implications are anticipated to be dire for older citizens.
