1am employed as an Executive Officer, Grade I, by the Social Security Agency in the
Paid Order Unit (POU) at Lisahally, Londonderry. I have worked in the Unit for about
13 years. I am able to speak from experience and personal knowledge regarding the
Unit. The POU is a storage and retrieval facility for the Pension and Allowance
(P&A) foils, which are submitted by post offices in the United Kingdom at the end of
each accounting period. Exceptions are that foils which have group numbers I — 3
which are Ministry of Defence payments and group 8 which are Family Tax Credit
payments are not received at this Unit. The foils are the instruments of payment for
various benefits payable in the UK that have been paid out to beneficiaries by post
offices. Every post office in the UK is required to submit by post their paid PRA
foils, P&A add-listings and P&A Office Summary forms to this Unit in a sealed pre-
addressed plastic pouch at the end of each accounting week. It is part of the duty of
certain members of staff to process the pouches on receipt. The pouch is first checked
prior to opening to make sure that it is not damaged. Upon receipt, the contents are
checked to make sure that a summary form is enclosed and that all of the foils are

Witness Statement
Continuation of statement of Sonia Cassidy
The foils and associated add listings and summaries are held in bundle approximately
12 inches long and in date order. There should also be enclosed, add listings or the
computer produced equivalent. If the summary and addlistings are not wrapped
around the foils when the pouches are opened they would then be secured with elastic
bands as above. There are seven accounting regions which are part of the Post Office
Limited (POL). The foils are stored on metal shelves firstly on a regional basis. They
are then broken down into Post Office Financial Accountant’s Department code order.
The Financial Accountant’s Department (FAD) code is unique to each office and
consists of seven digits. The contents of the P&A pouches, once secured together, are
passed for storage. A slip of card showing the Region letters in the top left hand
corner and date in the top right hand corner is secured by elastic bands to the front of
the bundle. The office FAD code is then hand-written on the slip for identification of
the bundle contents. They are filed in FAD code order and then in week number
order. The FAD code appears on the Summary forms (P2311 (b) MA) and should
also be recorded on the individual machine listings. The foils, add-listings and
Summary forms or equivalent are not separated at any stage between opening and
storage. A random check is made of a certain number of P&A foils each week. I can
say that the system of storage means that when access is needed to P&A foils of a
particular Post Office, a member of the Support Grade staff, whose duties include
storing and retrieving the bundles, goes to the relevant shelving section for the Post
Office Region, thence to the Post Office Account week and finally locates the relevant
bundle according to its FAD code number. They will retrieve any bundle requested by
an officer undertaking the case. Paid Order Unit regularly receives requests from Post
Office Limited, Chesterfield and Post Office Network Security to carry out checks on
the paid order foils received from certain Post Offices.
