Dear Editor,

The old age pension being paid out by the Poor Law Board to pensioners was increased from $1,638 per month to $2,738 per month.

I'd like to know if this additional $1,100.00 which was paid out from this month 1/12/2001 is for the whole year as back pay or if this is the increase from 1/12/2001. The post office does not give any explanation.

These poor people want to know when government is going to give something more respectable and reasonable to these senior citizens.
