I have worked for both the NHS and for my local school, i also have a private pension My SP is due to come into payment in august and the forecast has dropped despite me having full NI contributions I understand that i was contracted out and the HMRC explanantion states that I will recover the contracted out sum via a private pension when employed - this ive never had Can anyone explain where my COPE figure of around £58 is going to be recovered? thanks

Hi janet Assheton,
Please call our Contracted out Pensions Helpline and ask for a Contracted out pension history. 
HMRC holds historical information of any contracted out pensions you have paid into.
In most instances your workplace or personal pension(s) will include an amount that is equivalent to the estimated COPE amount shown in your statement. This is not normally identified specifically but is paid by your pension scheme(s) as part of your total private pension.
The date when you get your workplace or personal pension, and the full amount you receive, will depend on the rules of your scheme(s) and possibly any
investment choices you make.
If you are unsure when you will be paid your workplace or personal pension, please contact your scheme to find out. If you are unsure of their contact details,
you can use the Pension Tracing Service.
