Get long-run state pension spending projections (deprecated)

Source: R/fiscal_sustainability.R
get_pension_projections.Rd

Deprecated since obr 0.5.1.

In July 2026 the OBR restructured the Fiscal Risks and Sustainability Report workbook set. The executive-summary sheet this function read (C1.2, state pension spending split into demographic and triple-lock scenarios) no longer exists, so the function could no longer return data.

The equivalent series is now published in the FSR Chapter 3 "Long-term spending projections" workbook, as Chart 3.11 "State pension spending under alternative uprating assumptions", with a different scenario structure (triple-lock, CPI, and average-earnings uprating rather than the old demographic vs triple-lock split). See https://obr.uk/frs/fiscal-risks-and-sustainability-july-2026/.

This stub is retained so existing scripts do not error. It emits a deprecation warning and returns NULL. It will be removed in a future release.
