Pensions Increase 2020

The Government has approved the rate of increase for all public service pensions. The increase is effective from 8 April 2020 and is 1.7%.The increase is set by reference to the Consumer Price Index in September 2019. It does not reflect the performance of the Pension Fund and we do not have the power to pay an additional increase.

Following extended constructive discussions with the firefighter unions, the Department for Communities and Local Government has published a Heads of Agreement on the core parameters for reforms to the firefighters pension scheme.

The key features of the new scheme, to be introduced in 2015, are being considered by the Executives of the firefighter unions.
