I had 2 small private pensions that I cashed in over 6 years ago; value about £8000 after tax.0

My apologies - in total.0 -
OK, that's £10k for the Tesco pension and another what £10k for the other two pensions (before tax and tax free lump sum). So that's £20k. Clearly Tesco think you have another £10k+ of pension assets somewhere. Is there any schemes you have forgotten about?0

None at allAs already stated above my only income is my State Pension and a small amount of interest on savings.
You appear to be coming to the same conclusion about this as my husband & I.0 -
CETV is cash equivalent transfer value.
I am assuming that you have asked for Trivial Commutation - see
http://www.pruadviser.co.uk/content/knowledge/technical-centre/small_pots_an_defined_benefit_trivial_commutations/#
"Under triviality a Defined Benefit pension member may commute one or more pension arrangements as long as they comply with the following:
The member has reach the minimum retirement age of 55 (was reduced from age 60 on April 2015)
all the benefits from the pension(s) selected are extinguished by the commutation
all commutations must take place within a 12 month period from the date of the first trivial commutation payment
the value of all members’ rights should not exceed £30,000 on the nominated date (the nominated date can be any date within 3 months of the start of the commutation period).
The first 25% of the lump sum will be tax-free, with the balance being taxed as pension income. Although the payment of a triviality commutation is not a crystallisation event, the member must have LTA available at the point of crystallisation."
Have you asked Tesco to provide a CETV?0 -
Sounds very strange. The £30k issue should have no relevance to a transfer value of £10.7k from a DB scheme.0

When you say you cashed in the two previous pensions do you mean you took trivial commutation lump sums?
If so you would have only had a twelve month window to take any other payments via trivial commutation rules.0
