Written answers

The claim to State pension (transition) of the person concerned was disallowed on 23 October 2013 and he was notified of this decision on the basis that he has a total of 92 full-rate paid social insurance contributions. To be eligible for State pension (transition), he would require a minimum of 520 paid contributions.

I have asked that the application be reviewed and the applicant will be notified of the outcome of this review without delay.
