IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THOSE IN RECEIPT OF A DEFENCE FORCES PENSION

NOTE ON PENSION INCREASES
Pensions under the post-2013 Single Public Service Pension Scheme are uprated in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI), subject to a separate instruction from the Department of Public Expenditure NDP Delivery and Reform.

This means they are adjusted in line with increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as provided for under Article 40 of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012.

For those pensions not part of the Single Pension Scheme, the principle of pay parity in pension increases for pre-existing public service schemes has been agreed up to 30 June 2026 in line with the Public Service Agreement 2024-2026.

Under the policy of pay parity, general round pay increases are passed on to pensions awarded under pre-existing public service schemes (pre-2013 pension schemes). Where applicable, salary increases awarded to serving public servants are passed through to the pensions of those persons who have retired on an equivalent grade and pay scale point.

For a complete list of pension increases under Building Momentum – Public Service Agreements 2022 and 2023 and the Public Service Agreement 2024 to 2026 – here
