Regulation 3

Where the pensioner notifies the Commissioners in writing that he is desirous of having the cheque sent to him or to his mandatory through the post, and gives to the Commissioners an address in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland, to which the cheque is to be sent, the Commissioners may in their discretion send the cheque by post to him or his mandatory, as the case may require, and any cheque so sent shall be sent at the pensioner's own risk.

Any cheque which is not sent by post under the last foregoing paragraph shall be delivered to the pensioner or his mandatory on the personal appearance of such pensioner or mandatory at the National Debt Office:

Provided that the Commissioners may deliver the cheque to a representative of the mandatory on the personal appearance of such representative at the National Debt Office, and such delivery shall be equivalent to delivery of the cheque to the mandatory.

Any cheque which, under this Regulation, is sent by post to the pensioner or his mandatory or is delivered to a representative of the mandatory shall be made payable to order and crossed “not negotiable”.
