I don’t know about pensions but the Empire recognized certain cities as “Colonias” which were retirement centers for legionaries and were provided with a higher level of public services than typical Roman towns.

Sometime before Rome abandoned England during the Boudica led uprising a Colonia was attached and the retired legionaries were all slaughtered.
