Annual pension revaluation 2026 for deferred members
The inflation increase for April 2026 was 3.8%.
Although your pension benefits with EAPF are deferred, we revalue them each April in line with the latest Pension Increase (Review) order. This is to make sure that when you do decide to take payment, they’ll still have the same value as they did when you were first awarded a deferred benefit.
For 2026, the increase is based on the rise in the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) in the 12 months from October 2024 to September 2025.
However, if your pension hasn’t been deferred for at least a full year by April 2026, then you might receive a smaller increase. This is because the increase is pro-rated.
The current value of your deferred benefits, including the 2026 inflation increase will be shown on your 2026 annual pension statement, which will be available on EAPF Online in July.
