Your options at retirement.


When you get closer to retirement, there are lots of things to consider. One of those is how to take your pension from the Scheme. Take a look at this page to help you understand the options available and what to keep in mind to help you get the retirement that's right for you. 


Ways to take your pension

Ill health cover.


There may be situations where you're too ill to continue working in any capacity due to ill health. If that happens, you may be eligible to apply for an ill health pension for life. Certain conditions apply, see below.

Note: We will require evidence of your ill health from a registered medical practitioner and your eligibility will be decided by the Trustee.

Death benefits.


We know that providing for your loved ones in the event of your death is important. Whether you die before or after you retire and start taking your Tesco Pension, death benefits could be payable from the Scheme. You might also be eligible for other death benefits from other pensions you hold, like the Tesco Retirement Savings Plan.
