Dear Editor,
I, Choonmattie Seebrat, NIS # A-5281076 of Lot 108, Goed Fortuin Housing Scheme, West Bank Demerara, am an NIS pensioner for three years now after rendering 39 years of arduous service to the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo).
My monthly pension is calculated on 1335 contributions made jointly by myself and the GuySuco. However, the Scheme found another 130 contributions which ought to be added to 1335 contributions. With those contributions my rate of pension would increase by about three per cent.
In addition, I have provided copies of pay slips evidencing that another 85 contributions are to be added to my aggregate contributions.
Please, through your widely read newspaper, publicize my letter which hopefully will urge the National Insurance Scheme to ensure that I receive my correct rate of pension.
Thank you
Yours faithfully,
Choonmattie Seebrat
