  • Grasping at straws....

    ...having an idle moment, so looking at my Section 32 Policy document (as you do....)

    So, in 1988 I paid a single premium for my pension when I left my employer..this was made up of two parts...my contributions and my employers contributions..it wasn't much back then, just over £6,300 with a pension of £560 pa.

    The company pension scheme was I paid 6% and the employer paid 8%.

    but...it seems the Employers took a 'pension holiday' some years because my contributions ended up being 60% of transfer premium, whereas it should have been more like 43%.

    Whatever the reason my Employer didn't make any contributions, the fact is my 'pot' would have been more like £8.700 had they not had the 'holiday'.

    Now a pot that size would no doubt have increased the 'base' pension from £560pa..to something higher...and that in the ensuing 26 years worth of guaranteed growth of 8.5% that difference may well be a couple of thousand pound, per year ?

    Should I feel niffed ? complain ? forget it ? go and have a walk.........
