What about our senior citizens?

By Stabroek News On In Letters to the Editor |

Dear Editor,

 

  1. The annual pension, whenever announced, is never ever retroactive to January 1. How is it, therefore, annual? Year 2015 will be scandalous!
  2. The annual subsidies for GPL and GWI are given only to those with their own meters. Of the 42,000 or so seniors, how many receive this benefit, while paying each month as tenants or family residents?
  3. The Low Vision (Eye) Clinic subsidy of $8,000 has long been suspended; when will it be restored for our seniors who previously paid $2,000 for an eye test and a complete pair of spectacles?

Yours faithfully,

George L Munroe

CEO (retd) of the GPHC
