115. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Defence if a person (details supplied) in County Kildare is on the correct pension for the time he spent in the Defence Forces; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34897/14]
View answerThe person concerned, a former civilian employee of this Department, retired on grounds of ill-health from his position in April 1986. He was awarded a gratuity and an annual pension on retirement, under the terms of the non-contributory pension scheme for non-established State employees. The person in question received on his retirement all of his entitlements under that pension scheme. Over the years since the date of retirement, the rate of occupational pension paid to the person concerned has been increased in line with pay awards, both general and special, for serving employees.
