Post 1995 Supplementary pension query

I started this post back in february 2024, and at last my former public sector employer has acknowledged the Analomy, they have applied the national wage agreements % increases to my Supplementary pension since my retirement in May 2022 & have backdated the increases with arrears from August 2024. The arrears due from 2022 to 31st July 2024 is still awaiting sanction from DPER.
Its been a long road and i wish to thank all contributors here on Boards for there help

Will you receive the national wage agreement % increases that fell during the 9 months you were on jobseekers benefit?

Codeblue, that is an interesting observation, this months pension cheque just had under Supplementary pension the full amount including back money from Aug2024 and apparently increases form date of retirement, but will have to wait till next months cheque to see what my actual Supplementary is, and will then be able to calculate what national wafe agreements were included, take it from there
 
@stoves1, truly delighted you got all this sorted, shameful you had to pursue this for so long, and once again, you have cleared the path for many others coming down the tracks within your sector and perhaps others outside of it, to ensure the terms of the Post 1995 Pension Scheme is administered correctly. It is unfortunate that so many sectors deal with this so differently. I know my pension with Department of Education from the very first national wage agreement % increases, increased both my occupational element and my supplementary element with each and every uprated wage agreement increases, albeit, I found it very frustrating that my fortnightly payslip, always just stated one line with the word pension, or if uprated increases was not applied in real time, I got two lines on my payslip, pension and then arrears. Its great that you can see both occupational and supplementary values on your payslip, as these really come into play upon receipt of the SCOAP. Well Done, great job.
 
At the time I retired from the HSE I was obliged to claim jobseekers benefit (now optional), uprated increases were not awarded for this 9 month time frame 2% and 1% . This has the effect of ensuring I never have parity with "D" stamp colleagues the very thing Supplementary pension was designed to do. I did receive the 2 increases on my main occupational pension. Queries I have sent to the pension department in the HSE have never been responded to.
