Questions will not be answered unless accompanied by the name and address of correspondents.

In the latter case your age benefit would not be affected unless you were an . inmate for a full calendar month, in which event the Social Security Department would reduce your benefit for the month to 30s or to 35 per cent, of the pension, whichever is the lesser amount.
