Title: Dec 2018 RPI and hence Pension Increase

government continues to try to hide RPI in favour of the tweaked to be lower CPI! From this I think it's 2.7%.

It is indeed 2.7% for most BBC Pensioners!-in addition, many will benefit from a rise in the personal tax allowance- meaning £10 less tax to pay each month
Plus-state pensioners benefit from a 2.6% rise in both the old and new state pension.These rates had already been set prior to today's announcement.
