What's the odds?

How big a jump does one normally get at age 55?

Depends on what mood the wife is in...
But, in all seriousness, the Armed Forces Pensions Society and Vauxhall in particular is your master in this domain.

Mine went from £960 a month to just over £1200 a month (net), but that was in 8 years of almost zero CPI each year. I'm expecting it to go to approx £1350 a month next April.

If you know what your non-commuted figure was at discharge, then add September CPI to each year you didnt get a rise, you'll not be far off. Thats what I did and I was within £100 a year with my guess.

So, I left after 22 in 2017. I didn't commute my pension at all, so any CPI each year should be added on to my pension when I hit 55.

Is that correct?

Apart from year 1 that’s spot on
