Impact of the pension freeze on retirees’ income
The decision to freeze pensions has plunged many retirees into a precarious situation. As the cost of living continues to rise, these measures have made it difficult for many to maintain a decent standard of living.
Faced with this reality, the government has put in place an exceptional check intended to support the most affected retirees. This aid aims to compensate, even modestly, for the lack of adjustment of pensions which would normally follow inflation.
Details of the exceptional check for retirees
