When will my pension increase?
The increase will be applied from 8th April 2024. As this is part way through the month you will receive a partial increase for the month and then the full increase will be applied in May.
You will receive a payslip in April and May to show the increase to your pension. Your P60 will also be issued in May.
Will I get the full increase?
You will only receive the full increase if:
- You are over 55 or under 55 but retired on ill health (if under 55 and didn't retire on ill health your increase will be applied from your 55th birthday)
- Your pension payments began on or before 24th April 2023
