If you join USS on or after 1 October 2011 and have not been a member

benefits built up in the scheme. These benefits then receive increases each
year up to retirement.  The formula used to work out the annual pension is
1/80th (or 1.25%) of salary in each scheme year.  In addition a lump sum is
provided of 3 times the pension.
