No and I think that's why RM would prefer a one off payment and not an actual increase that is pensionable!

I assume you mean that you’re receiving your pension and you want to know how much it will increase from April 2018?

Inflation figures for September of the previous year are used to determine how much any increase will be.

If you’re in Section C it will increase by RPI and for Section A/B it will be CPI.

Google tells me that September 2017 figures were 3.9% for RPI and 3.0% for CPI.
