The UK has an estimated 4.5 million households living in fuel poverty and struggling to heat their homes.
The primary causes of fuel poverty are low incomes, high energy bills, and energy inefficient homes. The problem is set to rise further with an average increase of 54% in energy costs during 2022. The fuel consumption of the elderly is higher on average than that of the general population. This can be attributed to their increase in ill health which is associated with their age and being at more risk of isolation. This can be exacerbated further if they are in receipt of benefits.
The risk of experiencing severe ill-health or disability during childhood and early adulthood is increased by 25% if an individual lives in poor-quality housing. As a housing landlord, your priority is to your tenant’s health. Tenants may not know that they are living in fuel poverty, making offering assistance more difficult.
