Public service pensions are increased annually by the same percentage as State Additional Pensions (the State Earnings Related Pension and the State Second Pension). It’s applied in April and is based on the increase in the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) in the 12 months to September of the previous year.

The annual pensions increase this year will be 1%, effective from 10 April 2017, which means your teacher’s pension will increase by 1%.
