HIV patients find tough to file for pensions

The HIV positive people and vulnerable tribal groups have appealed to the State government to immediately issue pensions to them. The issuing of social security pensions to HIV-infected patients and particularly vulnerable tribal groups aged between 50 years and 65 years is being delayed as the State government did not make necessary changes in the website to allow the uploading of these applications. The district administration had also identified the dejected women - married but living alone as their husbands left them without divorcing them - for issuing the pensions, but the officials are waiting for further directions from the State government.
