A cash equivalent value or “CEV” is something that your solicitor will ask you to obtain during financial settlement proceedings.
Your pension provider will value the pension as a final figure. This may be different though to the value of your pension fund because it will usually include costs and charges incurred in transferring the pension. If the CEV is not included on your annual benefits statement, you will need to make a formal request to your pension provider. This request should be made as early as possible, depending on the provider and type of pension, this can sometimes take up to three months to obtain the CEV. As long as it is the first time requesting the CEV in a 12 month period and the pension is not in payment, there should be no charge for obtaining this.
