My dad is late for some years now(5years), we never even know that he has a totalled pension amount to collect from the government which has been deposited into the bank for about 3years now...we only received a letter from the bank this june 2012 and when we inquire from the bank they ask for an unending lists of documents for verification including letter of administration which i learnt takes almost half a year to produce or get, apart from that most of this documents costs much to get them and as a young graduate who is still hussling to get a job with 5 young brothers and a widow where or how am i going to get the fund to gets those documents, right now i dont even know what to do, the thought of having a good sum of money in a bank that you find it difficult to claim even hurt the more....i hope to get any useful advice from you all...thanks

I don't think they will give you any money without providing the necessary docs.

If you've got no money to process the docs, just concentrate on getting a job or a business for now.

You can work on claiming your dad's benefits (both from the bank and the PFA) later.

Good luck !
