Poll: Are you worried about the cost of keeping warm this winter?
With one in every four pensioners worried about keeping themselves warm in their own homes this winter in the wake of energy price hikes, we ask if you are concerned about the cost.

Age UK said that the problem could affect as many as three million older people across the UK.
