Leroy Rose of Port Mourant on the Corentyne has finally overcome the challenges he has faced in his efforts to obtain his National Insurance Scheme (NIS) old-age pension.
After visiting NIS’s booth at the government outreach in East Berbice, the senior citizen will now be able to access his first tranche of pension by the end of April.
“I feel so happy that I came here today, why I am happy is because all the doubts were cleared up and they told me by next week or so I should check with them, after the holiday and I will be grateful for that because I will depend on that my children live overseas but this is what I will be depending on,” a grateful Rose declared in an interview with the Department of Public Information (DPI).
