When the maximum rate is increased, those below the maximum rate receive the same proportionate increase. If pension recipients in receipt of a pension below maximum rate were to receive an increase of €12 per week, they would receive a greater proportionate increase than those at the maximum rate, who have contributed more to the social insurance fund from which the pension is paid.
