For those pensioners who have not yet received the "Invitations" to open an "Account" to draw their pension, the following information can let you "Retain your book".

1. Do not complete the form (you could receive three 'invites').

2. Dial the help-line.

3. State your preference for cash from the Orderbook / Postmaster.

4. Do not Waiver.
