Pensions and benefits will not keep up with cost of living, warns think tank
A think tank says a temporary rise would help 10 million people facing hardship, but at a heavy cost. …
It said that, to help these people, the government should consider a long-term change that meant rises in benefits and the state pension should not be linked to inflation seven months prior to the change, as is the case now. Instead, the decision should be taken much closer to April, when the increases take effect.
