Labour go a step further in their manifesto with a pledge to keep the triple lock in place throughout the next parliament, guaranteeing a minimum increase in pensions of 2.5% until 2022.
Added to this was a promise that pensioners would keep both the winter fuel allowance and their free bus passes under a Labour government.
The party has also promised compensation for women born in the 1950s who believe their state pension age was changed without fair notice.
