It says they have preserved the above membership using a penshionable pay figure of £19,523.03

It says £2,599.50 a year pension

Lump sum £7798.51

    This will be increased (as will the spouse pension and lump sum) by up to an average of 5% a year until retirement to cover inflation. So it will keep its value.

    You don't need to do anything.

    If you want to check your other pension provision, you can get a forecast for your state pension(s) - there are two - here:

    Do your new employers offer a pension scheme?
    Trying to keep it simple...;)
