The big win win public sector pensions is full inflation linkage. My mum retired early from teaching and probably drew more in pension than she did in wages.
The core of my pension income is defined benefit with some inflation linkage but that is capped at 5% or less. I have another, Section 32 buyout with a guaranteed annuity, that doesn't increase at all. So I get very nervous when inflation hits double figures, and I have no guilt at all about the triple lock.
