snoop1130 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Local administrators told to cease legal action against elderly receiving state living allowances and pensions Local administration organizations have been instructed, by the Interior Ministry, to cease legal action against some 15,000 elderly people who have been receiving both pensions and living allowances and to try to negotiate solutions which will have a minimal impact on them. Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda said today that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is fully aware of the issues concerning these elderly people and has ordered authorities concerned to find a legal solution. The problem arose when the Comptroller Department discovered that some 15,000 elderly people were receiving both their pensions and living allowances, dating back more than 10 years, which is regarded as an illegal receipt of duplicate state funding.

Putting the blame on the elderly people instead of the Comptroller department accepting responsibility. Yes, the elderly people should have reported the error but it was the government who made the error. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
