Pensioners could see a £540 boost next year thanks to the triple lock—driven by 4.3% earnings growth—raising weekly payments by £10.30 to over £13,000 annually. While welcomed amid cost-of-living pressures, critics warn it’s straining public finances, with the OBR forecasting billions in added costs as the population ages. Even the OECD is urging reform, highlighting the need for long-term planning amid mounting political and economic challenges.
