Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 December 2020
98. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Education when a person (details supplied) is entitled to claim their pension; the amount available to them in their pension; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42165/20]
View answerI am happy to confirm that the person to whom the Deputy refers is entitled to pension benefits from the Department of Education from the date of their 60th birthday. These benefits are payable upon application.
Officials from the Pension Unit of my department have made contact with the person concerned and have issued to them, by post, a statement of benefits to which they are entitled, including the pension amount, along with an application form for retirement benefits.
The benefits due will be paid with effect from the person’s 60th birthday, upon receipt of the completed application form to the Pension Unit of my Department.
