On a personal note: My Police pension rises in April each year at the rate of inflation calculated in the previous month of September, for some reason or rule I have never actually fully understood or bothered to enquire about.
My annual increase this April was 3.1% based on the previous September rate of inflation and despite the fact the April rate of inflation was 7% (current UK rate is about 9% and is expected to rise to at least 11% later this year)
Needless to say I'll be watching the inflation rate this coming September like a hawk.
