Post by andyP »

With the rising cost of everyday items does anyone know the percentage of rise for next years pension, or any rough idea?

It's the inflation figures for September that are used for pension increase purposes, which are released in October.

They're actually due this coming Wednesday the 22nd of October. So keep your eyes peeled and you can prepare yourself for next April. :thumbup

Section A/B is CPI
Section C is RPI

I am due to get my first pension payment in December, does anyone know if I will get the full % increase next April?

I read on the pension website that you may not get the full amount in your first year, but I am not sure.

Thanks
