“These cases are always treated in isolation by the media, a shocking incident, like a murder, borne of specific motivations. But they’re not like murders at all and they shouldn’t be seen as individual crimes — they’re symptomatic of a sickness in society that afflicts all countries everywhere.”

Do you know of any veterans or service personnel in Central Devon being chased by the DWP or MOD to repay supposedly overpaid benefits? If so, could you ask them to contact MP, Mel Stride, as he wants to hear from them. #DWP #MOD #overpayments #WPS #AFCS #CentralDevon #MP #MelStride

Pension layman here, but… The triple lock is a workaround for a state pension that's too low. Fix the level first, then index it honestly (maybe CPI, like the rest of the welfare system). If the level's right, you don't need a ratchet.
