    I have a DB scheme that I paid into for 10 years from about age 24. The statement I got in 2015 (when they closed it) said I'd built up an annual pension of £3400 a year & this will increase by CPI up to a max 5% each year. Retirement date age 65. (No idea what that means to how much I'll get at age 65 tho).

    That simply means you'll get £3,400 in todays money. Whatever the number is, lets say you get £8,042 when you are 65, that will buy what you could buy today for £3,400, and thats the best way of understanding your future pension, in todays money.
