I am assuming that the Deputy is referring to current measures to ameliorate the Public Service Pension Reduction (PSPR), a reduction imposed on certain public and civil service pensions since 2011, and the pension increase policy currently in place with respect to public and civil service pensions.

I have been advised by the National Shared Services Office (NSSO) who administer civil service pensions that the pension of the individual referred to was never subject to PSPR as its value was under the exemption threshold in place when they retired. With regards to the pension increase policy, I am also advised that the individual is entitled to a pension increase with effect since September 2019 that will be paid on 6 August and arrears due to her will also be paid then.
