Tony Blair Institute Calls Triple Lock Unsustainable
The Tony Blair Institute has called for a block on individuals with anxiety, depression, and ADHD from claiming benefits. Projections suggest pension costs could rise from approximately 5% of GDP to 7.8% by 2070. This increase represents an additional £85 billion per year. Reform UK has publicly expressed interest in scrapping the triple lock system. Under this proposal, some individuals would be required to work an additional five years to receive the same payout. Under this model, people would build a personal fund through work, education, or caring responsibilities. This fund could be drawn upon during unemployment, retraining, or family care periods. The remaining balance would later convert into a pension based on retirement timing and total contributions. The reforms are estimated to save 66 billion pounds annually by 2070.
