The person concerned reached pension age on 04 June 2022.
The State Pension (contributory) was awarded at the weekly rate of €101.20 from 4/6/2022. On 3 November 2022 a decision letter issued to them along with a copy of their insurance record. Payment of their weekly pension and arrears will be paid into their bank account on Friday 11th November.
My Department are reviewing their record to determine eligibility to home-caring credits. Once eligibility, if any, is determined their entitlement will be reviewed.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
