    After 4 years the scheme should certainly be able to pay you something. Don't fight this battle alone; there's free, expert and impartial assistance readily available for any members of the public with pension problems: https://www.moneyhelper.org.uk/en/pensions-and-retirement/pension-problems
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    What exactly have you been told is the reason for this?

    For example, rather than taking a  regular monthly pension were you wanting to commute a small dependant's pension so as to take a lump sum?
