EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 9 of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 (c. 25) (revaluation) applies to pension schemes
which, under that Act, require a revaluation of pensionable earnings, or a proportion of such earnings,

In relation to the period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 inclusive, article 2 of this Order
specifies an increase in prices of 3.8 per cent, based on a measure of the year on year change in the
Consumer Prices Index to September 2025; and an increase in earnings of 4.8 per cent, based on a
measure of the year on year change in average weekly earnings to September 2025.
This Order comes into force on 1st April 2026 but, for the schemes specified in article 1(3), this
Order comes into force on 6th April 2026.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact
