    Actually thinking about this EPA thing, I think what you're saying is that if I tried to draw my pension at say 60, then the 2 year amount I paid by EPA3 would only be reduced by actuarial rates from 65. The rest would be reduced from 68. 
    Correct   
  • Thank you for your kind responses.

    I've put in a form to make a lump sum contribution to CSP. I'm about to do a form to make monthly contributions from April. It says I can choose a % on the form. I was going to go for 23%. However does this 23% inc the mandatory minimum of 7.3% I am paying already? I had assumed so but would be grateful if anyone could confirm.

    No, the 23% would be in addition to the standard 7.35% contribution rate.
