Old Mutual won't Surrender my Retirement Annuity

On 10 January 2025, I app**** to Take My Retirement Funds (RA Surrender) at the Centurion Branch due to my dire financial situation. The consultant who was assisting me gavement a Transaction Summary report which stated (Submit for additional processing) and when I asked she said it mean they will JUST seek Tax Clearance & money will be paid into my account within 15 days. On the 17/01/2025 I received an SMS stating that I do not qualify to surrender my policy as I have more than the limit. The threshold is (Full Commutation (<R15000 or <R165000)) and mine is less than R135k

Good afternoon
Now that the Surrender cannot happen due to the overall total of all my retirement investments,. Can I then be allowed to make a 2-pot withdrawal from the total?
