The NHS Pension Scheme (England and Wales) has two sections. The 1995 section provides a pension of 1/80th pensionable pay for each year of service together with a lump sum of three times the annual rate of pension. For members of the 2008 section, there is no automatic lump sum and the pension provided is based on 1/60th pensionable pay for each year of service.

These annual pension payments will increase annually in line with legislation. We cannot give figures for these increases because we cannot predict the size of future changes in any indexation measure.
