JOHN: My name is John, a retiree from Federal Polytecnic, Idah 2018. My PFA is Sigma. I did my biodata in July 17, 2017 and my last salary was in September 2018.
I learnt that PenCom ensures that retirement benefits are paid as at when due. Since then, does it mean pension is no longer paid as at when due? When should I expect my retirement benefits? And what are the kind of problem(s) that cause this long delay?

He/she is also required to come along with the PDO to the enrolment center for his/her attestation. After the enrolment, the retirement benefits are determined and paid into the RSA of the retiree based on the information provided by the retiree during enrolment.
