Recent polling indicates that the majority of individuals over forty are unaware of how the triple lock, which determines state pension amounts, operates. The Conservative Party's new 'Triple Lock Plus' policy, intended to save pensioners £275 annually, has faced criticism for calculation errors. Selaine Saxby, MP for North Devon, highlighted that the policy would exempt state pensions from income tax, addressing a significant concern among local pensioners. However, some pensioners, including Jan Cavelle and George Shaw, expressed skepticism about the policy, suggesting that young families require more support.
