postal workers with guns -- pension payments

[Andrew John Conovaloff]

My question is really about the pensions themselves:  if
you're a pensioner, what exactly comes in the mail?

--- In 1997, pensions were still hand delivered in cash.
Two people (usually women) with a computer printout made
monthly rounds to be sure you still lived there, were
alive, and got the money in your hand.

Does anyone know if this is still the system?
