Wanogho said: “Our verification was carried out at the Military Pension Board since December 2015 and we were assured that the commencement of the payment of our pension would be with immediate effect.“Since that time, we have not heard from the board. Our pension effective dates for the backlog of our pension range from 1979 to 1980.
