231. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Social Protection why a person (details supplied) is not receiving the full increase granted in respect of her pension; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9752/24]
View answerOn Budget Day, I announced an increase of €12.00 per week for those on the maximum rate State Pension (contributory), with proportionate increases for qualified adults and those on reduced rates of payment.
The person concerned is in receipt of the State Pension (contributory) at the reduced weekly rate of €249.30, 90% of the maximum rate.
From 5 January 2024, they received an increase of €10.80 per week, 90% of the increase announced in Budget 2024.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
