Transferring BT Pension to MET

Retirement age is the same for both. That's all I know from those 3.

As I mentioned there are now several CS pension schemes and even different choices available depending on whether you joined before or after 30/7/07 - see CS PENSION WEBSITE - so it's very difficult to be too specific on here without great risk of giving you "duff gen".
If you haven't joined a Union is there an HR or pensions dept you can talk to about this?
Generally transferring into a govt backed final salary scheme is the best bet - but I've emphisised the word "generally" because it may not be in your case and there simply isn't enough info to know.

Thanks agian Ian. My union reps didn't know anything about pensions, & I started early Feb 07. I believe that had I joined a few months later retirement age would have officially been 65, whereas mine shows at 60, although I'll most likely want to work to 65 anyway. Don't know if that means I leave the pension til then. Presume so!

My pension is something called 'Premium'. I read through the choices [there were 2 i think] & picked that one.
