If you find this scenario applying to you don't panic. Often times pension claims get denied because there is a misunderstanding over the time of filing. So, make sure that your claim is being filed appropriately. Specifically, this means that you have all your dates right from the time you started your job. This is while keeping in mind that any time off gets deducted from your pension, even if you were sick.

Now, if you find that you have the right dates for your claim, you might want to take other measures to see what's going on. This could include going to your job's human resources department and contacting your company's pension specialist. They will tell you in greater detail if your dates match up and, assuming your company is honest, hopefully, they can let you know when your pension is going to go through.

If your company is not honest, they might try to withhold your pension. This is when you have to take more serious measures, like contacting a lawyer. A lawyer can help you threaten to sue for your pension claims, an action that no company wants on their shoulders. That's why after the lawyers get involved, many companies will go on and honor any delayed claim. They just don't want the legal trouble.

In conclusion, denied claims can be serious business. They can prevent a retired person from being able to support themselves. That's why, if you're in such a situation, you need to do all that you can to make sure you get your pension. And, in this case, doing all that you can means contacting your company's human resources department first, then contacting a lawyer if you find that the pension specialist is still not honoring your requests.

A claim occurs when a person files for their retirement money. When things work out well, a claim is granted allowing a person to receive their money each month. But when things don't work out well, the pension claim might be denied, leaving the claimant in a precarious situation.
