View answerThe person concerned reached pension age on 24 February 2021 and submitted an application for state pension non-contributory on 18 March 2021.
State pension non-contributory has been awarded, with effect from 26 February 2021. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 14 April 2021. Payment of the pension arrears due will issue shortly.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
