This year, the increase is 1.7%. As usual, the increase is based on the rise in the cost-of-living in the year up to last September. It’s due from April 8th this year (Local Government pensioners).
You will normally get the increase to your pension if you are over the age of 55 or you retired on the grounds of ill health. You'll get the increase too if your pension is a spouse's or a children's pension.
Did you retire after 23 April 2001?
Are you over state retirement age?
