	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2022 answer text <p>The NHS Pension Scheme protects pensions in payment by increasing them by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and revalues accrued career-average pension benefits by CPI plus 1.5% each year. A higher rate of revaluation will increase the size of pensions and may therefore increase annual allowance pension tax liability in a situation where inflation is increasing. However, when inflation reduces in the subsequent tax year, this may increase the scope for more pension growth before exceeding the annual allowance that year.</p><p> </p><p>The vast majority of National Health Service staff build their pension tax-free. Where pension tax allowances are breached, it is not required to pay the tax charge in advance. The Scheme Pays facility allows staff to meet any annual allowance charge from their pension instead. As an individual may retire or alter their working commitments for a number of reasons, it is not possible to assess the specific impact.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 23/06/2022 16:01:23 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government committed to a pay increase for National Health Service workers in England this year, in addition to 3% last year when pay was frozen in the public sector. The Government is looking to the independent Pay Review Bodies (PRBs) for a pay recommendation for the NHS. PRBs consider a number of factors in making recommendations, including the cost of living and inflation, recruitment and retention, affordability and value for the taxpayer. The Government will consider these recommendations before responding.</p><p>Almost eight million households across the United Kingdom will receive support of at least £1,200 this year, including a new one-off £650 cost of living payment. Universal support also increases to £400 as the October discount on energy bills is increased and the requirement to repay it over five years is removed. This constitutes a total of £37 billion this year to support the cost of living.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 23/06/2022 15:54:27 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
