I had an increase.
I have a question , do Capita send out a payslip when there is a change ?
Only I believe I have paid some tax on mine , when I shouldn't.
I told the taxman last year when they altered my codes in November , that I would have to pay tax , and they told me I wouldn't.

I got a letter from Capita stating the increase amount and how much tax I paid on it. Also received the April increase in this months pension.

Looks like another Capita failure. Surprised some postmen think the sun shines from their rear. I have heard nothing but bad things about them. Ive emailed them and await an answer.

Apparently the increase takes place from the 6th April , therefore next month you should get the full increase

Only increased from 6th April so it won't be 3.8% for April as its a part month.

I've received increase. I don't know what the percentage increase is, but I understand it's not a full month's increase.

The full increase is 4.5% , I don't know where you got 3.8% from. The RMPP increase is 3.8%.
I received a payslip along with my P60 and as suspected payed tax!!!
