Members of Her Majesty’s Opposition is calling on the Government to extend the time given for persons to reapply for the Public Assistance Programme. The Opposition is concerned about the many persons who are unaware of the deadline given to reapply. In addition, many persons on the programme will not be able to leave their homes and will have to depend on others to collect the form and return it for them. It is therefore making an appeal on behalf of such persons and hopes that Government is not using the process as a strategy to reduce the amount of persons on the list so it can meet the commitment to increase the monthly payment by $50.00 after promising an increase to $400.00 during the July 2008 election campaign.
