Annual Increase in Contracted-Out Deduction Question.

Posts: 122 Forumite
I have received my Pension Service advice re. my increased state pension. Every year my pre-97 additional state pension is increased by CPI. (I was contracted out with my previous employers). From this is deducted my Contracted-Out deduction that always exceeds my Pre-97 additional state pension so I do not receive anything. I understand that but what I do not understand is how the Contracted-Out Deduction is increased every year. It is not in line with CPI but, how is this small annual increase calculated? Can anyone help please?

Xylophone, thanks for the reply and link. It has been so long since we have seen an inflation rate over 3% that I had forgotten the significance of this figure. This year and last year my COD increased by 3% but in previous years the increase was limited to CPI (A much lower figure.) The 3% increase is the maximum allowed by my scheme I believe. After tinkering by successive Governments I am not surprised some of us have difficulty understanding it all. Thank you.1
