Pay retired members £1,500 cost of living

The PCS national Associate and Retired Members (ARMs) network has launched an e-action, calling on central government to pay recently retired members the £1,500 cost of living award. The payment was awarded last year to workers in the UK civil service, after sustained industrial action. Most received the payment, which was administered by individual departments, but some, who left their employment during the 2022/23 pay year, or in the period before the payment was made by employer departments, have not received it.
