A Soeng Sang district official suggested she contact the Lam Plai Mai district office, where her ID card was first issued. The 52-year-old woman had reported her card lost and filed for a replacement at Lam Plai Mat district office. Lack of an ID card has deprived her of the right to state health care and other social welfare benefits.
