DISABLED people are almost twice as likely to report being unable to afford to keep their home warm as the non-disabled, the Resolution Foundation revealed today.

Around 41 per cent of disabled people said they could not afford to keep their home warm, as did 23 per cent of people without a disability, the think tank found.

Almost half of disabled adults said they have had to cut back on energy use this winter compared with nearly a third of people without a disability.
