I'm 55 in May, I applied at Xmas and received it March 9th.

I was told at Xmas it would be acted upon in mid March so spot on really.

I have 2 numbers on back of wage slip, 1for RMPP helpline & another for RMDCP Pension Plan Zurich. Is it 1 of these or is there another number to use.

Sorry to hijack your post, i am also looking to get my Pension Estimate. I left RM in 2016 on VR after 34 years service so I am in section “B” do I write to RMPP or RMSPS (capita) to get my estimate. Thanks in advance for any advice / help.

Any benefits you built up before 1 April 2012 will be paid by the RMSPS. Any benefits built up after 1 April 2012 will be paid by the RMPP.
I would contact Capita in the first instance as they will be paying the main part of your pension.

Do you need to get an estimate from capita & an estimate from RMPP or does one add the other together

Fulpostie · Post by **Fulpostie** » 19 Mar 2019, 20:36

My deferred pension estimate is provided by Capita
