It is revealed that the reason why pensioners lost their pensions in April, which were increased by the budget, is a delay by the Ministry of Public Administration. It is reported that this situation has arisen because the circular related to the increase in salary was not issued to the pensioners’ salary in April.
A spokesperson for the department said that the relevant circular should be issued first to pay the increased pension, and then the pension would be adjusted accordingly. He said that every pensioner has a file, and the new pension should be revised in it.
