Dear Editor,
With reference to the letter in Stabroek News captioned ‘Can’t get pension from NIS’ (April 9) by Mr Grafton Bernard-Jones, requesting the payment of an Old Age Pension, please be informed that his appeal against the award of an Old Age Grant is not yet concluded. His employment history showed that he worked with several employers over the years and therefore investigation into the alleged missing contributions would take some time.
Our records show that additional contributions have been posted to his contribution record since the award of the Old Age Grant but not enough to convert the grant to a pension at this time.
Yours faithfully,
D Nelson
General Manager
National Insurance – Guyana
