Pension Increase

The Government approves the rate of increase for all public service pensions and state scheme benefits. The pension increase is set by reference to the Retail Price Index. It does not reflect the performance of the Avon Pension Fund. Your pension will be increased each April if you:-
  • Are aged 55 or over
  • Retired on ill health grounds
  • Are receiving a widows, widowers or child's pension
If you don't fall into one of these groups, your pension will still attract the increase but it will not be paid until your 55th birthday.
Pension increases for the last ten years are listed to the right:-
