An employer's pension scheme had to be at least as good as the state scheme and it had to be an amount known as the Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) but folk could not get the Additional Pension AND the GMP at the same time. Quite often the employer's scheme was better than the state one so although the Additional Pension was reduced or extinguished by the GMP, the claimant was often better of when the state and employer's pensions were added.
Folk who paid into an employer's scheme paid contracted-out NI and the rates were lower than for those who paid the regular NI.

HC, we are both correct, and incorrect.
to quote your answer:
" You'll get a rebate on your national insurance contributions but this will go towards building up the pension scheme as a whole rather than to you personally "
In other words, you paid the SAME NI contributions, but some of it was rebated - but not back to you but to your pension.
Your payslips would have shown the same NI whether you were contracted out or in.
