For many retirees, the retirement pension, paid after years of work, represents an elusive Holy Grail. At the end of a long career of effort, it closes the chapter of a life and replaces a salary sometimes earned with difficulty. In this context, it is not uncommon to see future retirees potentially worried about the prospect of now receiving a retirement pension and no longer a monthly income from an employee.

In some cases, after being established, the amount of your pension may nevertheless increase due to the effect of several factors.
