Dear Editor,
With reference to the letter issued in the Stabroek News of July 20, 2024 by the Public Relations and Marketing Department NIS, the following is the fiction:
It was NIS who initiated the related forms to be completed.
To date there exists not an iota of evidence that the forms completed since January 2024 have been processed.
I certainly have received no such information as at July 20.
My enquiry has yielded no relevant information from my bank.
It was as a result of my protest in Stabroek News of July 17, that a nurse from the NIS visited me on July 18, kept standing while she prepared a ‘Life Certificate’ for me to countersign. In all the process took less than ten minutes.
At 93, I hope I live to experience the factual result of receiving the overdue voucher payment.
Look forward to the positive publication of this response.
Sincerely,
E. B. John
(Still unpaid)
