<p>The overall impact of benefit up-rating on a customer’s income depends on a wide
variety of factors (including for example any changes to their non state pensions
that occur around the same time) which means we cannot accurately measure these impacts.
However, the increases in the basic State Pension under the terms of the triple lock,
have been more significant than the reductions in the savings credit. Overall it is
unlikely that any Pension Credit customer should be worse off, in cash terms, as a
result of the uprating decisions made over the last three years.</p>
