Local government pensions will increase by 1.2% from April
Submitted by Administrator on March 4, 2015 - 2:47pmLocal government pensions will be increased by 1.2% from 6 April 2015 in line with the government's method for increasing public sector pensions, namely the increase in the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) [1] in the 12 months to September 2014.
Pensions which have been in payment for less than a year will not receive the full 1.2% increase. Instead, they will be increased by a proportionate amount depending upon the number of months they have been in payment.
