  3. Improved Pension Administration: PTAD has been reformed to ensure more efficient and transparent pension administration, reducing the likelihood of pensioners being shortchanged.
  4. Pension Verification Exercise: The government has conducted several pension verification exercises to ensure that only eligible pensioners receive their benefits, thereby reducing fraud and corruption.
  5. Compassionate Allowances: The government has introduced compassionate allowances for pensioners who are unable to access their benefits due to various reasons, such as illness or disability.
