End of the triple lock?

I think most of us prefer to look at our pension as something we have contributed to for many years and have therefore "earned"

(I do know there is no separate state pension fund)

The fact it is based on how long you have contributed strengthens this feeling.

Contribution based Jobseekers Allowance

Contribution based Employment & Support Allowance

Incapacity Benefit

Bereavement Benefits

Statutory Sick Pay

Statutory Maternity Pay

All these (off the top of my head) are benefits that we have 'paid for' in the form of NI contributions. You only get them if you have contributed for a specified period for each.

I thought a triple lock was only needed for a twin axle. Two wheels and the hitch.
