    Either way there should be something more than 'just a figure' - but I think you might have hit the nail on the head. OP has consistently referred to a CETV, indicating their ex was in a defined benefit scheme. However ,Standard Life's DB scheme closed to new entrants in 2004, so OP's ex would have joined a DC plan instead if they didn't join Standard Life until 2006. There wouldn't be a CETV, just a 'transfer value' - so absolutely no point in hoping that a CETV for another member of the DB scheme would help.

    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
