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> more like this
