the Mirror.Post Office card accounts (POca) are being shut down on November 30 after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) chose not to renew its contract.This will affect the thousands of people who still use the service as they are shifted onto the Payment Exception service.The Payment Exception service allows people who do not have a bank account to access their benefit payments via the PayPoint network.You can take out money using either a payment card, a voucher which is sent through email or a text message where you are sent a unique reference number.Any of these methods should be presented at a PayPoint outlet – these are in shops and newsagents – in order to get access to your benefits.Customers have been moved to the Payment.
