What does this mean?

A GMP of £10,000 p.a. at 65 of which

£3,000 will increase at a rate of 3% p.a. compound.

Does it mean at the age of 65 the 10k p.a. will increase by £300 after a years retirement and the by another £309 after the following year and so on and so on?

    That's not what it says. It says that £3k of the £10k will increase at 3% p.a. compounded: £90 and then £92.70 and so on.

    It is silent on the other £7k.

    What is the pre/post 88 split and excess?

    This will help us see if what increases there are and how they are paid.
