The 'easiest' way to increase it is to save more, although that's not necessarily going to be easy at the moment due to the cost of living, etc.

It's not 100% clear from your post, but assuming your SW pension is via RM. Please bear in mind that once the new CDC scheme starts(assuming it does), no more contributions will be allowed into any of the current RM pension schemes, or AVC's.

You will have the choice of joining CDC or Nest.
