If there is more money in there than we should have (contributions, I mean) a red flag should be raised. Seems that once you reach "a certain age" they send you this automatically? How many people actually look at it!

A few months ago his |benefits were witheld until he was interviewed and was told |three other |persons hold a similar card with the same number but as he was able to |provide the original information on the oldest issued card his |was judged |genuine.
