State pension non-contributory is a means-tested payment for people aged 66 and over, habitually residing in the State, who do not qualify for a state pension contributory, or who only qualify for a reduced rate contributory pension based on their social insurance record.
An application for state pension non-contributory was received from the person concerned on 27 October 2022.
On 7 November 2022, a request for information issued to the person concerned in order that their weekly means can be assessed.
On receipt of the required information, the person's eligibility for state pension non-contributory will be examined and they will be notified in writing of the outcome without delay.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
