We pay almost £758,000 out every month as pensions.
Pensions from the Scheme are paid on the 28th of each month. If the 28th falls on a Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday, then payment will be made on the preceding working day. In December, pension payments will go through before 25 December. The payment dates for 2021 are shown below.
