I am appealing to the NIS to correct my pension

Apr 12, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
My name is Mangree Basdeo and I worked at GuySuCo’s Wales Estate for thirty seven (37) years. I am currently receiving a pension from the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) calculated on nine hundred and thirty two (932) contributions that were made to the Scheme through contributions by the employer and myself. I represented to the Scheme, through my Union, that all my contributions were not reflective in the NIS records. Subsequently, I secured a statement issued June 02, 2016, which advised that I have contributed one thousand, four hundred and fifty three (1,453) contributions.
My efforts, so far, to get the Scheme to re-calculate my pension based not on nine hundred and thirty two (932) but on one thousand, four hundred and fifty three (1,453) contributions are in vain. Through your newspaper, I am kindly seeking the publication of this letter which might persuade the Scheme to provide me with my correct rate-of pension which I need at this time – aged 65.
I am satisfied that my Union – The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) – has written many letters to the General Manager of the Scheme to have this matter resolved. Thank you.
Mangree Basdeo
