You should be getting your Annual Pension statement within the next few weeks
which will tell you exactly how much you will get. They are usually sent out around
the end of July, or beginning of August.

Re: How is pension now calculated
It's now based on the best year out of the last three years of service.
It's difficult to give an exact amount, as the new CARE element kicked in from April 2008
but assuming you were in POSS (pre 1985 I think), with 25 years service, your fsp should be
around 27-29% of your pensionable pay, and your lump sum would be 3x the annual pension.
If you've still got last year's Annual Pension statement, that will give you a forecast, which
will still be more or less accurate (increased by 1.5%) as we only got 1.5% pay increase last
year and nothing this year.
