How long to actually get your pension?

When I was working up to retiring, I expected that my company DB pension would start pretty much when I retired. I mean they had had 20 years to do the paperwork! In actual fact 6 months before my DB pension was due, the company asked me to make some choices and fill in some forms. I looked forward to a transfer to my back around my pension start day.

In fact - it took them until 5 months AFTER my pension start date to actually send me any money (and PCLS). Anyone else got a better experience than I had?
