I honestly have to ask if you read the article. The only reason this is happening is because of how their system works, not because of any laws. When they detect that someone with a similar, but different, set of identity information dies they reach out to see if that person is the same as the one paying out the pension to. The problem is that once they confirm it is not the person, they keep asking anyways.

This woman had to confirm three times in one month, and then still had her pension stop.
