NGUKPS pensions will increase from Monday, 6 April 2026.
If you’re a man under the age of 65, or a woman under age 60 at the increase date, your whole pension will be increased by 4.5% (in line with the rise in Retail Prices Index for September 2025).
However, if you’re a man over age 65, or a woman over age 60, your Scheme pension is likely to include what’s known as a Guaranteed Minimum Pension or GMP. Different increases apply to the GMP parts of your pension and depending on when you reached, or will reach, State Pension age, some increases (if you reached State Pension Age before April 2016) may be paid by the State.
A pension increase letter will be sent to you in April 2026, this will show the annual increase(s) in your particular circumstances and explain how these have been applied to your pension.
