Social Security
The State Pension Debits and Credits (Revaluation) Order 2022
Made 28th November 2022
Laid before Parliament 29th November 2022
Coming into force in accordance with article 1(2)

The Secretary of State has reviewed the general level of prices in Great Britain in accordance with section 148AD(1) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992.
The Secretary of State has had regard to the earlier orders under that section, and it appears to the Secretary of State that relevant debits or credits have not, during the review period, maintained their value in relation to the general level of prices.

Accordingly the Secretary of State makes the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 148AD(2) and (3) and 189(1) and (4) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992.
