    An AVC is typically linked to the main scheme. So, it is just the AVC or the main scheme as well that you are having a problem with?

    No Problem with the main fund. Pension has nbeen in payment for five years but AVC's had only been in payment for three months when prognosis given. Standard Life lit said Trustees had discretion to refund within first twelve months of payment but have been declined.
    Would greatly appreciate any information you can give.
