You know what its like with this one - they probably got a range of predictions say between 7 to 10% and decided to go with the lowest figure - I have seen it on the BBC this morning saying it will peak at 7.25% which last time I did any counting was a figure above 7%Interesting that inflation was predicted to peak at 7% in April, but twice this morning I’ve heard it reported that it will be above 7% afterwards.
Pensions would have been increased by around 7.5% had the government stuck to the triple lock. You know, the triple lock they pledged to stick to. But they ignored one of the components so pensions rise by only 3.5%.Wasn't it also reported that pension and benefit increases are pegged at the CPI figure as of last Sept, which was 3.5%, despite pressure not to.
