Pension review

Initially there was a little miss communication between either of us.
As soon as I mentioned I was dealing with a Police pension it was a case of they could not help me.
This is not the first time I had heard this from previous financial advisors.
I had to explain that I was seeking advice regarding to commutation of my pension which I get in less than a months time and what I could do with it to enhance my financial long term security of my commutation.
