The position in this case is that the retirement gratuity due to the person in question was paid into his account on 3 September 2018. The initial pension payment due to him will be paid on 28 September 2018 as part of the September 2018 monthly pensions payroll, and will include arrears of pension back to the date of retirement.

There is also a refund due to the person in question in respect of surplus contributions to the Spouses and Children's Contributory Pension Scheme. The refund will be made on 26 September 2018.
