    If the “independent” review body recommend more than 2% I would be flabbergasted 
    AIUI the CS (as opposed to, eg NHS or Military) doesn't have an independent pay review body

    Not for those receiving their pensions or those  deferred (not contributing) (unless there’s a particular scheme that has some link to average earnings) pensions in payment increase by inflation.

    Obviously those who are currently employed and receive pay rises will increase their pension entitlements in the future as their salaries rise.

    Presume your not taking about the State Pension, which has the triple (double) lock. 
    I am talking about pension payments for those already on CS pensions 
    Your increase has already been announced - 3.1% from next April.

    OK Thanks - hadn't realised

    2% would be strike action, 1% would be rioting in the streets!
    At least the accrued pension benefits will increase by 3.1% as those are not linked to final salary which is going backwards in real terms, which is probably more important for me given proximity to retirement (the pension will hopefully be in payment for far more years than the salary)

    Where exactly is 3.1% quoted for CSP? 
    Mycsp doesn't appear to mention 2022 yet!
    State pension rise for next year is 3. 1%

    We have been offered 2.75% for the lowest-paid and 1.75% for everyone else.
    All this talk of a pay freeze is confusing and misleading, fake news?
    The pay boost for Cityclean staff and other workers will add at least £2.5m to the council's annual wage bill.

    No they will be waiting for the official Treasury Orders this year it was issued in January for April. https://www.civilservicepensionscheme.org.uk/members/annual-review-of-pensions-in-payment/
    but The September inflation figure is used.
