Final Salary pension sharing

An ex-wife aged 60 gets a 40% share of a final salary scheme pension CETV. She is offered scheme membership on a defined benefit basis by the pension scheme; how can she calculate what her annual income from defined benefit scheme membership would be?

Hi Maggie

You have to write off to the pension fund and ask them. They should provide you with a statement every year, same way they do for the pension holder.

Sorry - I wasn't very clear.
I meant a bit earlier in the process when you're still deciding what to do with your pension share - when you've agreed your percentage of a final salary pension on the basis of the CETV and as an ex-spouse the pension scheme is offering you scheme membership with defined benefits but tells you that you can also opt to transfer out - it's up to you to decide.
How do you decide whether to keep your share in the scheme or transfer out?
Does it make any real difference?
