Much as the title sounds silly, one of my pensions sends me a letter every year to ask me if I'm dead.
The letter never gets to me because of fun with the postal service so they stop my payments.
I see the missing payments so I call them to explain they can't send letters unless they use FedEx or whatever because I never get them.
The same happens every year.
So far one or two phone calls from not beyond the grave does it, but they had trouble believing me this time so two months were missed.
I will check all three payments have been paid at the end of this month.
Delays aren't a problem as I have a job so the cash goes to a high interest account for a rainy day, but I can see a time when I'm old and doddery so it will make a difference.
