I am not asking because of that political point about the pension age. It is more about demographic pressures on the budget, from a budgetary oversight point of view.

I will move back to the compensation issue. We were provided with a helpful graphic around how it works but I am trying to glean more information. The claimant contacts the compensator. The Department places responsibility for contacting it on the compensator or PIAB. Is there a reason the responsibility is not on the claimant?
