Your pension is adjusted in line with the cost of living every year throughout your retirement. The adjustment to your income uses the rate of the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) for the previous September. From April 2024, payments (for eligible pensioners) will increase by 6.7%. This reflects the change in the CPI for the 12 months to September 2023.
Payslips and P60s are being posted to home addresses or are available via ‘My Pension’ our member self-service website. Your April 2024 payslip shows the impact of the 2024 pension increase on your LGPS income.
