NHS pension help

I have a small 1995 NHS pension - my latest statement shows a £6k lump sum and a £2k per year pension. I am no longer contributing to that scheme as have been moved over to the 2015 scheme.  I am planning to leave within the next 12 months.  Wanted to have a rough idea of a cetv as wanting to put pension into a sipp but would need to apply to get the figure which will only last for 3 months basically just needed an idea - will it be over £30k in which case I would need ifa....anyone any ideas of a ball park figure?

    Nil will be the CETV.  Not possible since 2015.

    I don't think you can take a CETV from the NHS Scheme unless you have less than 2 years service, though I may be wrong.

    After 2 years service you can only transfer to another defined benefit scheme.
