Your Preserved Benefit is reviewed each April so that it keeps
pace with the cost of living. The amount of Pensions Increase
is based on an index specified by the Government and is
based on the change in the Consumer Price Index in the
12 month period up to the end of the previous September.
The increase of 2.2% has been applied to Preserved Benefits
from 8th April this year.
