Is that correspondence issued on an annual basis? Many people are frugal up to turning 65 years of age, but perhaps their circumstances then change. They are not being deceitful on purpose, but they might come into some money. They are not checked until they are hit with a bill a number of years later. I mentioned the €100,000 in respect of the 80 year old. Has the effectiveness of the measures and correspondence been improved in recent years?
