The person concerned reached pension age on 23 June 2023. State Pension (Contributory) was awarded with effect from 23 June 2023 at the maximum weekly rate. The decision issued on 19 September 2023.
The first payment will issue to their nominated financial institution on 22 September 2023. This payment will also include arrears due for the period 23 June 2023 to 21 September 2023.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
