Yes, my increase seems to match up with CPI-U. I thought it may have been CPI-W but checking the numbers indicates it is CPI-U.

This CPI is not reflective of how seniors spend their income. I only mention that because YOUR CPI rate is probably quite different than CPI-U.
CPI-U is weighted on housing costs. If you own your home most of this does not impact you (housing costs include utilities) it's fairly light on medical.
