What Happens to Your Pension When You Leave AstraZeneca?

When you leave an employer like AstraZeneca or Alexion:

• Your pension usually becomes a “deferred benefit”

• It stays with the company’s scheme provider

• You may lose access to updates, performance tracking, or flexible options

For many employees, this leads to disconnection — and in some cases, their pensions are forgotten or underperforming.

What Does “Unlocking Your Pension” Actually Mean?
If you’ve left AstraZeneca (Alexion) or are about to, you may be eligible to:

• Access up to 25% of your pension now as a tax-free lump sum

• Then transfer the remaining 75% into a Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA)

This is 100% legal and Revenue-approved, but only available under certain conditions — and many people miss the window of opportunity.

Unlocking your pension gives you:

• Early access to funds

• Control over how your retirement savings are invested

• A clear strategy for future drawdowns or retirement
