From 1 June 1989 to 31 March 2008, there was a limit on the amount of pay which was pensionable for members:
- joining the 1995 or 2008 Section for the first time
- who had a break in membership of 12 months or more during this period
This is known as the 'Earnings Cap'.
If you were subject to the Earnings Cap, your pension will be calculated separately.
