If a claim is submitted by the guardian of the person entitled to the pension, the pension is paid into a bank account opened by the guardian in the name of the person entitled to the pension.
The spouse of the entitled person may contact the NII and request the pension increment provided for a spouse to be paid directly to him or her.
