    Dunstonh has already explained this on the other thread.Your first plan was the retirement annuity contract.These products ceased to be issued from 1988 so your contributions after that went into the new personal pension which was set up at that time.The RACs could still take regular or annual contributions under the original contract but could not take additional contributions (aka 'new business').Hence the PP.
