ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

The DUP has shown support for measures that protect and improve pensions for low-income individuals, such as the triple lock guarantee for state pensions. This suggests that they would be more likely to support targeted increases for low-income pensioners rather than a blanket increase for all retired government workers.

Agree

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

The DUP has not explicitly advocated for yearly adjustments to pension payments for retired government workers based on the cost of living. However, their support for measures like the triple lock guarantee for state pensions, which includes an element of inflation protection, suggests that they might be open to considering such adjustments.

Slightly agree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

While the DUP has not explicitly tied pension increases to national debt reduction, they have expressed concerns about fiscal responsibility and the need to balance spending with economic growth. This suggests that they might be open to considering pension increases in the context of broader fiscal policy.
