End the triple lock on State Pension increases that is planned until 2020

Closed 222 signatures

What the petition asks

The triple lock on the State Pension means it will increase by 2.5%, inflation or earnings (whichever is highest) each year until 2020. As the UK has voted for Brexit, and a recession is likely, it is not fair that pensioners should be protected when those of working age are not.
