Scheme increases in NAPS are generally in line with the Government’s yearly Pensions Increase (Review) Orders (PIRO), up to a maximum of 5% in any year. These increases apply to any elements of your pension that qualify for yearly increases under the Scheme Rules. The Orders currently reflect the increase in the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), but the Secretary of State decides how these are measured, and this may change from time to time.

The Pensions Increase (Review) Order for 2025 is below 5%. Most NAPS pensions that have been in payment for at least a year will therefore increase by 1.7% from 7 April 2025.

Notes:
• The PIRO increase for 2025 is based on the Consumer Prices Index rise over the twelve months to September 2024.

• The increase applies to pension elements that are eligible for Scheme increases.

• Some elements of pension may receive different levels of increase.

• Different rules apply in respect of any Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) included in NAPS pensions.
