So in the third year the pension would just increase by the 2.5% inflation (not the 5% growth of average earnings)

E.g. If inflation was 4%, & average earnings growth 2% in each of the first two years then in year three inflation was 2.5% & average earnings 5%. The State Pension over the three years would rise 10.5% just due to inflation link – higher than the 9% total growth in average earnings since the start.

Pension triple lock: what's REALLY happening. There’s a huge amount of misunderstanding out there. My must-watch mini-briefing I hope keeps it as simple as possible, so you can see how it’d likely roughly really work. As for is it good or bad… that’s your decision, not mine.

If the triple lock on pensions will be scrapped. The 1st priority is to fix Pension Credit - the top up for the lowest earning pensioners to give them a basic minimum income. Shamefully many 100,000s of the poorest pensions still miss out on what they're entitled to.

You can’t leave a pension in your will. You need to tell the pension provider or trustees who you want the money to go to if you die, it’s done via a nomination form or expression of wishes form. Make sure yours is done and up to date. Clip courtesy of @thismorningitv.bsky.social

I'm afraid it's now predicted the energy Price Cap will rise 24% in January. The Cap applies to all firms' standard tariffs (bar in N. Ireland), so if you're not on a fix or special deal, you, like most people, are on it.
