Research by Age UK indicates that over a million seniors are skipping meals due to financial stress, highlighting a worrying trend among vulnerable populations struggling with heating and food.
With winter heating costs soaring, more than 7 million pensioners are turning down heating or reducing its usage, leading to alarming concerns about health impacts and the NHS burden.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves' decision to slash winter fuel payments aims to save 1.4 billion, but critics argue this move compromises the wellbeing of over 5 million vulnerable pensioners this winter.
The overwhelming rise in pension credit applications means eligible seniors could face delays of up to 12 weeks before receiving crucial winter fuel payments, adding to their financial worries.
