What is the UAP and why is it being introduced now?
The Upper Accrual Point is a new threshold for the calculation of both State Second Pension and contracted-out rebates. It replaces the Upper Earnings Limit in both the State Second Pension and rebate calculations and was planned for introduction from 6 April 2012 at the earliest. It is being introduced in 2009 to ensure that the State Second Pension (S2P) reforms introduced as part of the Pensions Act 2007 remain on track.
