Why such a tiny pension increase ?

Post by grahamashurst »

I received a letter this morning from the Royal Mail Pension Scheme Chesterfield. My pension has increased from £133.59 gross per month last year to just £134.20 this year, that's about 0.50 % !! I thought we were due 2.7% ( group A & B ) I'm at a complete loss to understand it. I wonder if they have made an error. I will contact them Monday. Anyone any ideas ? :sad:

Just got home and my pension increase letter has arrived and it is exactly 2.7%. I would think that all the pension increases are issued by a computer, so don't understand why yours should be less, so you should ring the Pension Service Centre to query it.
