Question re teachers' pensions

I took early retirement at a reduced rate a few years ago. I did some supply work in one school over the next four years. On top of my salary, I received a Fringe Allowance and an extra point for the kind of school. The total time worked is less than one year. When I applied and got my additional pension it was a bit less than I thought as the "salary of reference" quoted was £2,500 less than my annual salary over these years. It seemed closer to the basic salary without any allowances. I know that my main pension took those allowances into account when the calculation was done. My question is does anyone know if the fact that I did so little work over the past few years affect how the calculation is made on the final salary assessment?

We are talking of a relatively small amount, I know, but I don't want to be getting less than I might be due.
