96. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the progress, to date, in determining an application for a widow’s, widower’s or surviving civil partner’s pension, in conjunction with an established entitlement to payment from the United Kingdom, in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17672/15]
View answerAn application for widow’s contributory pension was received from the person concerned on the 10th of April 2015. A Deciding Officer has noted that there is no record of the person’s marriage held by the General Register Office and has requested the person concerned to furnish a copy of their marriage certificate. On receipt, a Deciding Officer will make a decision on the person’s entitlement to widow’s contributory pension and the person will be notified of the outcome without delay.
