This pension ledger is clearly stamped including the words "CAUTIONARY LIST" - obviously it appears such lists were periodically compiled/issued

= What is a Cautionary List?

I'm currently suspecting it's a list of potentially dodgy claims/claimants [seemingly common enough to require a special rubber stamp!] - in such applications risk of/active, fraud being at the top of the Ministry of Pension's mind I would think.

 

The same sentiment is expressed on another, later, pension ledger card for the same man - which also has an alias written on it.

Certainly all post/correspondence seems scheduled for special treatment by a specifically named individual at the MoP

???

Your thoughts please.

A related query from the same man's pension ledger record

 

Pension file transferred from Region 1 [Scotland] to Region 13 [Ireland] in 1925

This note was in the top right corner of the earlier of the two relates/linked Pension Ledger cards

What does it mean?

P.S. The man appears to have been known by several names - this ledger, and the subsequent one, mentioned that the man was on a "Cautionary List" = I wonder if there is any connection between these points and perhaps notably the "R" above??
