DB Pension help

[alscar]

First question - are you married and if so does either scheme differ in terms of what if you die first is then given as a percentage to her ?

Normally each year of contributing to a DB scheme "buys" you a fraction of that years (or if you are really lucky your final salary's) income , say 1/60th or similar. Can you find those figures for the two schemes?

CARE actually stands for "Career Average Revalued Earnings" as the pension is valued as an averaged fraction of your earnings over the years you are in it.
