On 19 October 2022, the Office for National Statistics announced the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rate of inflation for September 2022 was 10.1 per cent. Government policy in recent years has been to base increases under the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 and revaluation of pension accounts under section 9 of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 on the rate of CPI in September of the previous year. We await confirmation from Government that the revaluation and pensions increase that will apply to LGPS active pension accounts, deferred pensions and pensions in payment in April 2023 will be 10.1 per cent.
