Should benefits increases match price inflation (say approx 10% increase) or working people's wages (probably nearer to 5% increase)?

Currently state pensions are not considered as benefits which is rather ridiculous eg If a person is on full state pension £175 pw (?), there will not receive any benefits. Conversely, someone who worked part time and does not get a full pension will get (say) £80pw plus a pension credit (a benefit) it will then be £175 pw and allow for other benefits. In other words, if you pay all your full NAT INS, you do not get benefits, in fact you get less
Also you can if you carry on working past state pension age you can increase the pension by deferring it. My Mum did this as she worked until 65 (SPA = 60 then) and it went up a lot to the point she got got called rich b*tch when collecting it from the PO one time.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.

To get the basic State Pension you must have paid or been credited with National Insurance contributions.
Those who qualify under the new system from April 2016 onwards will have to be credited with a minimum of 10 years of NI contributions, either through paid employment, from raising a family, by caring for a sick or disabled person or being enrolled in approved training schemes. Once you reach the minimum amount of years you will receive 10/35ths of the full rate which is currently £168.60. Each additional year (s) of NI contributions/credits will increase your starting amount by a commensurate amount based of the above calculation. Those who are credited with 35 years or more will receive the highest available amount.

My Tory friend says the State Pension is not considered a benefit ...
Pensions Act 2014. Chapter 19, section 1
State pension
(1)This Part creates a benefit called state pension.
The old act (Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992) put pensions under Part 2, Contributory Benefits
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/4/part/II
I hope that benefits your friend's education.
