We won't officially find out how much our DBCBS pot is worth until they issue us with statements, which is usually around September. But there's a total of 19.6% of pensionable pay going in each week and we pay 6%. So if you can work out what RM's 13.6% is in money terms and multiply the total 19.6% by the number of weeks you've been paying in,then you won't be too far off.

The DBCBS started for RMPP members on week 1 of the current tax year(payment date 6/4/18), but some ex DC members might have been later depending on when they opted in?

More info on the DBCBS foe ex-DC members can be found here.

Sorry I don't know what the 'arrears of ex DC payment' is.

I think it is based on the previous week’s overtime.
