People will now need to travel to Tullamore to collect payments.
An Post services have been suddenly halted for an Offaly community over the Christmas period.
The postal body says operations at Doolan's Spar Store in Blueball are down due to a switchover to fibre cables, which is incompatible with their existing machines.
Fianna Fail TD for Offaly Tony McCormack says no notice was given beforehand for the works, with older people now temporarily traveling to Tullamore to collect their payments and pensions.
He says it needs to be restored swiftly:
