Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) - Pension Increase 2026
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 2025 was 3.8%.
This means that we expect active pension accounts, deferred pensions and pensions in payment in the LGPS to increase by 3.8% in April 2026.
