answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2014 answer text <p>Supporting pensioners is a key priority for this Government. Due to the triple lock, the full basic State Pension has increased this month to £113.10 a week – a cash rise of £2.95. This is around £8.50 a week higher than it would have been if it had been uprated only in line with average weekly earnings growth since the start of this Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>We have also passed through the cash rise, due to the triple lock, to the minimum guarantee in Pension Credit. This ensures that the poorest pensioners also benefit.</p><p> </p><p>This Government also continues to protect universal pensioner benefits, such as Winter Fuel Payments, free eye tests and prescriptions.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 29/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
