NHS 1995 section

Am I right in thinking that if I am in receipt of my NHS 95 pension due to retire and return and still been under State pension age that the 2024 increase will be 8.5% and not 6.7% ?   
Keep in your thoughts the poor Beasts of burden around the World and curse All who do them harm.

    No your pension will increase by 6.7%

    State Pensions increase by 8.5% based on the Triple lock. 8.5% being the rate of wage increase. NHS and all Government Pensions increase by the rate of CPI from September 2023.

  • Public sector pensions increase from this month (April 2024) based on the CPI in September 2023. They did not increase in September 2023.
