The Superannuation (Allocation of Pension) Rules 1965

Beneficiary's signature

14.—(1) If the Civil Service Commissioners report to the Department that in their opinion a person is of good health and the Department is satisfied with the evidence and particulars furnished to it by that person in accordance with Rule 10 of these Rules, the Department shall request him to arrange for the beneficiary to write his usual signature in duplicate in the presence of such officer of the Department, or such other person, as the Department may nominate, and, in deciding whom to nominate for that purpose, the Department shall, so far as possible, have regard to the convenience of the beneficiary.

(2) Where it is shown to the satisfaction of the Treasury that, by reason of the beneficiary's inability through infirmity or other sufficient cause, he is unable to write his signature as required by this Rule and by Rule 9 of these Rules, the Treasury may, if they think fit, dispense with the beneficiary's signature, subject to such conditions as they may deem desirable.
