ELSA COTTLE WANTS ANSWERS about a cut in her pension.
Since January her bimonthly pension dropped from $310 to $290 without explanation, even though she has been complaining to the National Insurance Scheme (NIS).
The 68-year-old said she was instructed to cash the cheques and the difference would be sent to her, but four months on, that has not happened. Cottle questioned why after working for all her adult life, she would only receive a pension of between $580 and $620 each month.
“I need satisfaction. I am going to the Prime Minister if I have to. Poor old people that worked so hard have to be surviving on this little money that cannot even buy li’l groceries,” she told the MIDWEEK NATION yesterday. (LK)
