Vol. 208 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Reduction of Pensions.

26.

asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he is aware of cases which have occurred where old age pensioners received an increase in pension in November, 1963, and resulting therefrom had blind or other pensions reduced, with the effect that instead of receiving an increase in weekly pensions the total weekly pension paid has in fact been reduced; and what action he proposes to take to remedy this situation.

I am not aware of any reductions in other pensions consequent on the increases granted to old age and blind pensioners in November last.
