Timeframes for pension withdrawals?

hi Mike
As I said in my e-mail to you ahead of your application, the process has been changed due to FCA regulatory changes and landed with very little notice, so the current process is lumpy and was implemented as best as it could be given the notice period. It will ultimately all be automated again

Okay.... Darrell has sent two forms:
- Accessing Pension Benefits Advice Declaration
- Points to Consider when taking benefits from your pension
She has managed to edit them (no easy feat with a pdf!) & sent them back
.... but a slight concern remains that his letter ended with "Once we have received this confirmation, we will issue you with a My Choice of Pension Benefit Form and a Points to Consider form."
....it feels like those are the two forms he sent her?!
Hopefully it can all proceed with no issues. It's a piffling amount really, but she does want to get the maximum she can for FY25-26!

Then Amy sent another email to request confirmation.
Now Ryan has sent another.
This starts to feel pretty obstructive!
THREE different people.
Good grief!
Christine has replied to Ryan, and asked him to confirm that there is nothing else needed....& that this should still complete within this tax year.
Fingers crossed! -
It sounds like they’re being thorough

Just to follow up….
Slightly odd that online the status has changed from “Approved” to “ Requested Information”….but on the 29th she had a message confirming they “have requested disinvestment and once the monies have been disinvested, we will pay the monies within 3-5 working days”.Hopefully just a lag in messaging online, & hopefully payment will be received within the next few days, comfortably within this FY

Apologies Mike, the Quai/IM processing on this has been poor. I'll chase it up with them today
