Active pension accounts, deferred pensions and pensions in payment are adjusted each April in line with the cost of living. The increase is based on the September to September change in the Consumer Prices Index (CPI). The CPI increase for the year up to September 2026 was 3.5%.
This means that we expect LGPS active pension accounts, deferred pensions and pensions in payment to increase by 3.5% in April 2027.
