A representative of my Department has been in contact with the person named and has notified her that the 7.92 entitlements which were previously lost to the National Reserve due to non-usage in 2007, 2008 and 2009 have now been returned under Force Majeure due to the extenuating circumstances involved. However, these entitlements now require to be transferred to her as they are currently registered in the name of her late husband. My Department is assisting the person named with this transfer and has offered ongoing assistance where required.
