    You have been given details above of the position for a deferred pensioner if the scheme went into the PPF.

    As far as I can see from the link in my previous, you were in a defined benefits scheme?

    When did you leave the scheme?

    Do you have a statement of deferred benefits showing pre 88 GMP, post 88 GMP and any excess?

    I'll try to check on these things, but since I find it very difficult to absorb information about pensions (though being quite able to edit books on academic subjects), I'm not confident that I will be able to come up with the answers. I left the scheme when I left the company, which was in 2000.

    I worked for a company from January 1973 until 1982. My pension of 1200 was frozen for the duration. I was on a final salary pension. I received information in 2014 stating my pension breakdown.DOB 05/06/1951

    I decided to take my pension at 63 years, I am 65 this year. I was quoted and received 2,688 pa with and expected GMP of 2,963 in June this year when I am 65. I am surprised that my original frozen pension has made so little considering it was re-valued from 1982 unitl 2014 at 8.5%. I have read in this forum that 1000 at 8.5% x 28 is making 9,876. approx

    Have my previous employers, who are still active, got it wrong or have I
