The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) commissioned the Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) on 17 January 2014 “to provide an update of [GAD’s] report into the actuarially fair rate of increments [for those deferring State Pension beyond State Pension age]”. This followed on from similar work produced by GAD for DWP in 2003, 2010 and 2012. The rates required are for those reaching State Pension age (SPA) in years between 2016-17 and 2026-27, that is, after the introduction of the single-tier State Pension in 2016, and deferring for between 1 and 5 years.
