“A flock of birds seemed strange to me”: this detail alerted a walker and led to the discovery of Lyhanna’s body

Since the political transition, this idea has not been confirmed but remains a topic of discussion. If the current rule of indexing to inflation is maintained, a modest increase of approximately 1.2% could be applied in January 2027, affecting the February payment.
Final decisions will be made in the fall of 2026, when the budget and the Social Security financing law are voted on.

A concrete example of impact

Let’s take a retiree receiving €1,000 in basic pension and €600 in supplementary pension, i.e. €1,600 per month.

• January 2025: +2.2% on the basic pension = approximately +€22 per month, or €264 per year.
• November 2025: +0.6 to +0.8% on supplementary insurance = +€3.60 to €4.80 per month, or €43 to €58 per year.

In 2025, this retiree will therefore earn approximately €310 to €320 more.
In 2026, a 1.2% increase in the basic pension would represent approximately €12 more per month, or €144 per year. However, if the “blank year” were to be reinstated, this increase would disappear.
