| Abstract: | For many, pensions provide support for whole families and delays and obstacles push them into total poverty. The cases studied reflect the high level of frustration rural people face in dealing with bureaucracy. The main problems are: the long waiting time for a pension to be processed and approved or rejected; a sudden cutting off of pensions; problems related to reference books and of information. |
