How your Pension is paid

We will pay your Annual Pension into your chosen Bank or Building Society Account in 12 monthly instalments on the 22nd day of each month. However, when the 22nd is a Saturday we will make the payment on the 21st. When the 22nd is a Sunday, we will make the payment on the 23rd.

We will shortly send you your first pension pay advice slip. From then on, details of each payment will only be sent to you if your net monthly pension changes by 50p or more. Changes are likely to occur each April when the annual Pensions Increase is applied to your pension and again possibly in May or June when any new tax codes are applied.

Call the Pensions Payroll Section free on 0800 0644155 if you want to check the amount of pension we’ve paid you. You can also view your pension figures online at the following link ‘Access your Pension Details Online’ and follow the instructions which tell you how to register and get a PIN number to view your details through a secure link.

Pension Payroll Number

We allocate all new pensioners their own unique pension payroll number. Your pension payroll number will be printed on your first, and future, pay advice slips. It will help us identify your pension record if you could quote your pension payroll number if you email, telephone or write to the Pensions Payroll Section.
