Written answers

The person concerned applied for State pension (contributory) on 15 April 2013. He was awarded this pension on reaching 66 years of age, at a rate of €196 per week, with effect from 11 September 2013. He subsequently notified the Department that he may have had additional self-employment contributions due for the tax year 1988/89. The Department has confirmed that there are no further contributions due for this tax year. Based on the information provided, the State pension awarded to the person concerned is correct, and represents his maximum entitlement. This can be reviewed if additional information becomes available.
