» 2016
Due to negative September 2015 CPI, there was no uprating to pensions in payment in April 2016 and no Pensions Increase (Review) Order or Guaranteed Minimum Pensions Increase Order for 2016. However, the Government did publish 2016 multiplier tables and a covering note. These documents may also be found on Gov.uk.
