The cost of living crisis is getting worse, and it's putting more older people at risk every day.
Many have spent years cutting back and going without, but the price of survival remains too high. James, 73, understands this better than most. As someone living with Parkinson's, it's vital that he looks after himself. But as costs soared, James was forced to cut back on food in order to afford his essential care visits.
“In the end, I was just eating bread, water and tea,” says James. “I went down to nearly seven stone and was close to death.”
1.9 million
older people live in poverty, often struggling to afford basics such as adequate food and heating
3.7 million
older people have had to cut back on food and groceries during the cost of living crisis
When James turned to the Age UK Advice Line, our expert advisers helped him to apply for Attendance Allowance. The extra money has changed everything, and has meant that James can afford to eat properly again.
But thousands more people like James urgently need support.

Yes, I want Age UK to treat all donations I have made for the four years prior to this year, and all donations I make from the date of this declaration until I notify you otherwise, as Gift Aid donations. I am a UK tax payer and understand that if I pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
