Rock and a hard place!!

Ok, I'll try and keep this short. Basically my dad died suddenly in January. Mum is still trying to sort out his pension. The company has told her she is not allowed to take out a lump sum. She can either have an annual sum of money OR find another insurance company to invest it in. Mum has also been told when she dies the pension does not pass on to her children.

This company has been a nightmare to deal with, at one point telling mum they shouldn't be discussing the issue with her as the pension is in Dad's name!! Mum said how did they expect to talk to dad?

Anyway - upshot of it is can the pension company not give mum the money and if they should how do we get it from them???

Any help and advice would be appretiated

what type of pension is it?

The death benefits are defined by the type of scheme it is. How they pay the money out will depend on that.
