The Directorate also warned Pensioners not to give money to any staff of PTAD for processing their pension matters.

It said the Directorate in a bid to improving its service delivery to pensioners, has commenced a pensioner satisfaction survey.
The phone-call based survey aims to gauge the pulse of the pensioners, measure their satisfaction with PTAD services and provide the necessary feedback towards improving on our service commitment to pensioners.
“The survey will involve over 48,000 randomly selected pensioners from the four pension departments under the Directorate’s management namely: The Civil Service Pension Department, The Police Pension Department, The Customs, Immigration and Prisons Pension Department and the Parastatals Pension Department.
“The survey started in March 2019 to end in May 2019 and phone calls to pensioners will be between the hours of 9 am to 4 pm. Pensioners are encouraged to be factual in their response to our calling agents who will identify themselves by name. Pensioners are however, not required to provide information regarding bank details, payments or work records of any kind. Pensioners should also note that their participation is voluntary and no punitive measure will be applied for non-participation,” the statement stated.
