The Pensions Increase (Review) Order (Northern Ireland) 2025
Date published:
The Department of Finance has made an Order to provide for increases in the rates of Northern Ireland public service pensions.
The increase reflects annual changes in the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The annual percentage change in CPI as at September 2024 was 1.7%. From 7 April 2025 public service pensions in payment which began before 8 April 2024 will be uprated by 1.7%, and pensions which came into payment on or after 8 April 2024 and before 7 April 2025 will receive the correct pro-rata increase.
