In a state pension entitlement review following the death of the recipient, the Department, for reasons of confidentiality, can only correspond or communicate with the legal representative or personal representative of the deceased.
According to the records of the Department, the person on whose behalf the Deputy is enquiring is not the named executor or personal representative in this case. If, however, a signed authorisation is provided by the executor/personal representative facilitating the provision of information to another person, the Department will contact the person concerned without delay and inform them of the current position in the case.
