Al, can you tell me whether the CPI figure used for pension increases is the annual figure or one particular month? (October's figure rings a bell).
If it is one month, is there an online list containing the figures? I can find the historical annual RPI/CPI inflation but am looking for the one actually used - it would be good to have an idea of how much, or little my immediate pension will be worth at 55
September CPI is used to index the pension.
BBC News - UK CPI inflation rate rises to 5.2% in September
Historical rates from 2003 to date are here
