Millions of retirees are investigating whether there will be an additional increase in the lowest pension. The final decision of the Constitutional Court is expected to determine the direction of the process.
So, will there be a gradual increase in the pension? What was the decision of the Constitutional Court? Here’s what you’re curious about…
WILL PUBLIC RETIREMENTS GET A RAISE?
There is no official decision finalizing a new progressive raise for retired civil servants. The ongoing legal process is taking shape upon the request that the additional payment of 8 thousand 77 lira given to civil servants on duty in 2023 should also be reflected to retired civil servants.
While all eyes are on the decision of the Constitutional Court, the court’s evaluation will be decisive on whether the payment in question will cover retired civil servants. For this reason, retirees continue to closely monitor the possible impact of the outcome of the process on their salaries.
While 8 thousand 77 lira payments were made to civil servants on duty in 2023, the same increase was not directly reflected in the salaries of retired civil servants. Thereupon, some retired civil servants appealed to the judiciary, demanding that the payment in question be applied to their pensions as well. As the process moves to a new stage with the applications brought to the Constitutional Court being combined into a single file, all eyes are now on the decision to be made regarding the merits of the case.
