Protection against poverty TLP was introduced in 2011 to reverse decades of declining pension value. Without it the fear is maintaining standard of living Inability to increase income, retirees are on fixed incomes The UK state pension is among the lowest in G7 Financial certainty and peace of mind. The guarantee that provides predictable baseline security Pensioners view their pension as be funded by a lifetime of NI contributions and taxes Abolishing the TLP will unfairly penalise them
