MiCard replacement programme to begin next week

A campaign to replace MiCards, which enable people to claim their benefits or pension at branches of the Post Office, will begin next week.

Letters will be sent to all 3,500 users over the coming weeks advising them their card will need to be replaced - with all MiCards currently in use to expire on 31 December 2022.

On receiving their letter, people are asked to take them to the branch where they usually collect their benefits/pension.

It's also advised to bring ID and proof of address - before a new MiCard will be issued.
