Your pension
and the cost of living

As prices go up year by year, the pound in your pocket buys less and less, but the good news is once you are drawing your pension from the Scheme, this will go up too, helping to protect you against inflation.

We normally increase our pensions every April in line with prices. The government's preferred measure of inflation for such things is the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Your pension and the cost of living

When you first retire
We will pay your first pensions increase the following April.

If you draw your benefits because of ill health
We will pay the full pensions increase no matter how young or old you are. But if you draw deferred benefits because of ill health, we can only pay your pensions increase before 55 if you are permanently too ill to work at all.

Increasing your dependants’ pensions
Pensions for husbands and wives / civil partners / nominated cohabiting partners and dependant children are increased each year no matter how young or old they are.
