Thousands could lose up to £4,900 a year if the plan is retained in the forthcoming budget from the Labour Party.

There were more eligible pensioners claiming pension credit than the previous year – but there are still hundreds of thousands who may be at risk of losing the Winter Fuel Allowance from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) which is worth £300.

There are 16 DWP benefits that will get people a reduced council tax bill amid the ongoing Cost of Living crisis.

New data has revealed that just 150,000 people have taken advantage of the credits since 2011 - despite 12 million people claiming state pensions.

Charities have heard from "single parents skipping meals" because the benefit from the DWP is so low.
