Local government pension scheme

I have requested a retirement pack as 55 in March to take early retirement from deferred benefit status..
Just received figures that was run on figures that were payable from today ie when I am 54. The confusing bit is

Plus Pension Increase (1.378126) payable from.age 55
When this amount is added it looks correct.  Is this a yearly payment or a one off?

Thankyou

    Sound like it is increase based on inflation. Your deferred pension would maintains it's value in real terms.
