then you should be very interested in Thursday morning when the September inflation figure is announced which should be the increase on SP given in April. 

CPI rate for September 2022 will be announced at 07:00 on Wednesday 19th. This is the rate next Aprils pension increase will rise by unless the Government does another U-turn!  

After a low increase for this year, I think they will have to pass on a full inflation increase this time. However after that I guess the Triple Lock will probably go at least. It was not the best idea ever in the first place,

I would have said you are near enough State Pension Age for it not to be a problem.  I'm one of the first to be affected by the acceleration to 67 with a State Pension Age of 66 and 8 months and would like to think I am relatively safe from SPA further rises.  Think it may be a different matter for those born around 1970.  If I were one of them, I would be seriously planning for an increase from 67 to 68.
