17. This number is taken from the Retail Price Index figure of the preceding year (e.g. statements produced in March 2005 used an RPI figure from September 2004). This percentage is then applied to the pension for every year up to the members normal retirement date.

18. The financial year in which the most recent pensions increase has been applied.

25. The employer you worked for during the period of service in question. This does not necessarily have to be another local government employer; you are able to transfer service from a wide range of public and private sector employments, as well as personal pension plans (in which case, the name of the company you have the plan with will be shown here).

26-27. Dates showing the period of service you were with your former employer/company. If you changed your hours at any time during your previous employments, you may well have several service dates relating to the same employment (most notably in previous local government employment). If you transferred-in a personal pension plan, the dates in this section will always be shown as the day immediately preceding the start of your current employment.
