Around 3.5 million elderly people are worried they will not be able to keep warm this coming winter, a charity has warned.
Age UK pointed to the 25,000 elderly people who die every year from the cold, which they amounts to 206 deaths a day or one death every seven minutes.
Known as "excess winter deaths" many of these could have been prevented if pensioners were in properly insulated homes, according to Age UK.
The government has made "a very clear commitment" to keep over-65s warm every winter and 12.5 million would be eligible for between £100-£300 to help pay their fuel bills if there born before July 5 1952.
A Government spokesman said:
