Paying benefits electronically instead of in cash at post office counters is a sign of the changing times.
That’s according to the Department of Social Care which is looking to introduce a pre-payment card system.
The general secretary of the UK’s National Federation of Sub Postmasters has visited the Island to speak to both the department and the post office.
The idea of changing the payment system has sparked concern amongst politicians with some accusing the department of crippling the social fabric of the Isle of Man.
However Minister Chris Robertshaw says things are changing:
Buchan School could become 85 homes under new plans
Flood defence plans scrapped after five planning objections
TT food van needed for trackside car park
Northern roadworks to hinge on Mountain Road reopening
Beer festival to return this week
Dublin to sign friendship agreement with Douglas in summer
Total of 35 properties on council's dilapidated list
Equipment being sold off from popular former bar
