The State Pension is set to hit £200 a week, as pensioners receive a boost in line with soaring inflation rates.
In April 2023, more than 12 million pensioners will gain around £1,000 each when compared with the same time last year, after inflation reached its highest level in 40 years and living standards dropped at their sharpest rate since post-war rationing.
The news comes as The University of York found an estimated 86.4 percent of pensioner couples are expected to fall into fuel poverty, which is when energy costs exceed 10 percent of a household's net income.
