Surcharge Scheme 2 applies to pensions accrued from January 1, 1982 to December 31, 1995 and transferred to SPIN as a non-contributory or vested pension as of January 1, 1996. The supplement to your DB pension is then 100% of the increase in the derived consumer price index from October of any year to September of the following year. This excludes effects of VAT, excise taxes and subsidies.

If the consumer price index falls in a year then pensions are not reduced in that year, but the supplement becomes zero. The next supplement is granted if the consumer price index is higher than at the time of the last increase. The supplement is then calculated by comparing the index figure at the time of the penultimate increase with the index figure of the last increase.
