Notification of Pension rate for the year

Hi all. I noticed last year, under the new administration, that the letter informing me of any pension increase was at least a month late in coming out. Pension is due tomorrow and I still have no notification about what my new rate will be. I really need this letter to help with completion of my Housing Benefit Claim and also to work out my budget for the year. Have others had their notification? Worried that mine may have got lost. Thanks all.

If you're in section A/B your CPI increase will be 1.7%.
If you're in section C your RPI increase will be 2.4%.
The figures are based on inflation rates as of September the previous year(2019).

I think someone on here recently said the pension increase letter will be sent out in late April/early May.

Tomorrow's pension payment will be the bulk of the increase. With the full increase being added from May onwards. Letters for members of the RMSPS and getting paid monthly due in May.

I got a letter from RMPP stating that I was due an uplift in my Pension lump sum due to taking mid way through the year, a few days later a payment was made. Should I get the same from the RMSPS As I have heard nothing from Capita.
