You will need to discuss this with the Welfare Officer. The money can either be collected in cash once a month from the Welfare Service Office or the Post Office, or it can be paid straight into a bank account if you have one. If you choose to collect the money from the Welfare Office or Post Office, you must take your Identity Document (ID) book with you to prove your identity. You must also make sure you have received the correct amount of money before signing for it.
