More than a million older people are cutting or stopping their social care as the cost of living crisis bites.
And 10% of over-60s – equating to 1.6 million people – have already shelved or reduced their help or expect to in the coming months, according to an online Kantar poll for charity Age UK.
Some 22% – 3.6million – are cutting or stopping spending on medications or specialist foods, or are braced to impose the measure, while 15% - 2.5 million – are skipping meals or expect to.
