Elderly beneficiaries frequently have to travel and queue repeatedly for a pension that is already sanctioned.
For a person with limited mobility, the cost of collection can consume a meaningful share of the pension itself.
Track collection burden as a metric: journeys required and time spent, by block, and escalate failures as tracked issues.
Volunteer-assisted reporting, with volunteers helping elderly citizens file and follow up.
Risk
Volunteers handling elderly citizens' documents creates a trust and fraud risk.
Mitigation
Volunteers never take custody of original documents or of money. This is stated in the code of conduct and is a removable offence.
