I can confirm that, following a search which was carried out using the information provided by the Deputy, my Department has no record of a Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) for the individual concerned.
Officials from my Department have been in contact with the Deputy’s office to see if any additional information is available that may help establish whether the person concerned had a PPSN or pre-1979 Insurance Number.
A further search will be carried out if any additional information is available.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
