SJP pension withdrawal timescales?

Need some advice on how long it takes SJP to get  pension lump withdrawals.

The last few times when I have requested withdrawals it has taken anything from 15 to 23 working days to complete.  I have had to keep chasing SJP on where the request is in their process and furthermore at finalisation of the process I have to sign a 46 page document before the monies can be released.  

Is this normal ?

    No, not normal. I did my first UFPLS from my AJ Bell SIPP recently and was astonished how simple and quick it was. All done on line and I had the money within about 3 days.

    That said, I did make sure I had liquidated sufficient cash from funds prior to submitting the request.

    It's probably normal for SJP.  There are unlikley to be many SJP customers on this forum to confirm.
