If I do not want to do all the medical tests for my group assurance of old mutual, Orion pension scheme, what are the consequences

The supplied sources do not state the consequences of declining medical tests for Old Mutual group assurance or the Orion Pension Scheme. They only define a group scheme underwritten by a life policy as a “scheme”; the applicable consequence would need to be found in the particular policy and fund rules, which are not supplied. 3
