I was compulsory retired from an garda siochana at age 60 in the past year having joined in 1999 ie post 1995 so paid prsi at A rate. For the 1st nine months of my retirement i had to claim job seekers benefit and also got a percentage of a pension from an garda siochana, after 9 months i no longer qualified for any social welfare benefits so recieved a supplementary pension from garda pensions to bring me up to same rate of garda pension if i was pre 1995 entrant.
My query is when the national wage agreements wage rises were implemented for Oct 2022 and Mar 2023 looks like i only got the percentage increases on the occupational part of my pension and not on the whole pension ( as per pre 1995 entrants) so the supplementary amount has not changed is this correct or do i need to do something about it, as i have a gut feeling that the pensions department of justice are not sure etc, would appreciate comments as this will have major implications for post 1995 public servants when they retire compared to pre 1995, thanks fro replies
