How long can the UK afford the pension triple lock?

The UK faces challenges over the affordability of the pension triple lock system as retirees anticipate a 4.7% state pension increase in April. Concerns persist over the fairness and sustainability of the triple lock, especially as the population ages and costs rise. Experts suggest alternatives to the triple lock that are shielded from inflation spikes and ensure pensioners are fairly supported in the future. With rising costs and an aging population, the UK government may need to reassess pension policies to maintain financial stability.
