Introduction
The Comet Pension Scheme (the Scheme) was closed to new joiners on 1 April 2004; Pensionable Service was ended on 30 September 2007; and closed to all forms of accrual on 3 February 2012.
The Scheme is often referred to as a 'final salary' or 'defined benefit' scheme. This means that your pension is based on the number of years that you were a contributing Scheme member, until 30 September 2007 at the latest (when the Scheme closed), and how much you were earning when you left the Service of Comet Group plc or Kesa Electricals plc, now Darty plc.
The Scheme's Normal Retirement Age is 60. However, if you are a member of the Scheme who is over 60 years of age and not yet receiving your Scheme pension then please contact our Administrator on the helpline number below.
The Scheme also provides benefits for your dependants after you die.
The Administrators of the Comet Pension Scheme are called XPS Administration. If you have any questions about the scheme, you may contact their helpline number on 0118 918 5098.
