Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 March 2014
115. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if a person (details supplied) in County Kildare qualifies for contributory old age pension in their own right on foot of their partnership in their spouse's enterprise as opposed to their current position as an adult dependant; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14666/14]
View answerAccording to the records of the Department, the person concerned reached the age of eligibility for State pension (contributory) in March 2004. As there is no record of an application for State pension having been received from the person concerned to date, a form has been issued to her. On receipt of her completed application, her entitlement to pension will be fully examined, and she will be notified of the outcome without delay.
