We decided on 11th May 2026 to draw down further funds online but there was a problem as e-mail kept getting rejected. I called the help number and had everything sorted with minimum amount of fuss including an apology that there was a problem with online application. Was advise it could be 4-6 weeks until we received the funds but it is being paid into our account today 21st May. Great service from Sam Carroll and the Team.
Good overall
Good overall. Main feedback is that for the second year running your call centre team don’t know how to handle Scottish based cases with a PoA and Office of Public Guardian involvement. I had to escalate and explain this again. It should be a simple training session to fix this for the front line staff.
Standard Life Home
