Your pension will be paid directly into your bank account on the last working day of each month for the rest of your life. We’ll post to you:
A pensioner payslip when your pension starts and again whenever your net pension changes by more than £5 per month.
A letter telling you what your new annual pension will be before the April payment each year.
A P60 each year around early May showing all of your pension and tax details for the previous tax year.
You’ll also be able to access your monthly payslips and annual P60s via EAPF Online.
If you’ve not registered for an online account, it’s really simple. Visit portal.eapf.org.uk with your National Insurance number and some personal details to get started.
From age 55, your pension is revalued in April each year.
The increase is generally based on the change in the cost of living to the previous 30 September, as quoted in the annual Pensions Increase (Review) Order.
If you’ve retired due to ill health, your pension may be revalued before you reach age 55 (providing you meet certain ill health conditions).
