Pensioners hold conflicting views on whether the triple lock pension guarantee should be abolished.
Pensioners have expressed conflicting views on the triple lock pension guarantee. Some readers support ending the mechanism, whilst others warn it would cause severe hardship.
Tracy Birrell, 68, told The i Paper that she is just £7 over the threshold for pension credit and must survive on the basic state pension alone. She fears that plans to axe the triple lock would make her situation even worse. Metro reports that some readers believe the triple lock should be scrapped, though their reasoning was not detailed.
