            Apparently I earned 32 units up to 1975...(paying approx £240 in additional NI contributions)
These were valued at £0.1314 each in 2014 so I received £4.20pw additional pension.(£218pa)
My question is, when the scheme ended in 1975 was the value of the units I'd bought increased each year by inflation ?  If I worked it backwards the 13p in 2014 would have been 1.2p in 1975.

            Looks like it does go up. See

 If you click on the link to Gov UK you need to scroll all the way down to State Pension.1

            i suppose having paid about £2,500 (in todays money) it's giving me £384 per year this year..and about £4000 since I retired..so far...doesn't sound too bad tbh.0
