Thanks.

Do you have any recollections of more recent extended delays in the payment of deferred pensions once the choices letter has been returned?

They told me when I claimed my SP on the phone that the Choices letter for the deferred element would take around five weeks to arrive, as it goes to a specialist department to calculate. That takes me to around the fifteenth of this month, so we shall see.
