NIS should change date for old age pension

Dear Editor,

I would like to suggest that the N.I.S amend their monthly Old Age Pension to the first working day of each month as is currently done by the Ministry of Human Services for their  Old Age Pension. This would ease the physical and financial burden of the elderly and others who are eligible from having to make two trips or wait if they can afford to collect both.

 Yours faithfully,
