Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 February 2023
417. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision will be made on a pension in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7415/23]
View answerAn interim decision was made and the person concerned was awarded State Pension (contributory) at the current weekly rate of €238.50 from 23 December 2022.
A copy of their UK insurance record was recently received in my Department from the Department of Work and Pensions. The rate of their State Pension (Contributory) was reviewed and increased to €260.10.
The person concerned has been notified of this decision. Any arrears due will issue without delay.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
