485. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of the non-contributory pension application by a person (details supplied); and if a supplementary welfare allowance can be awarded in the interim. [43971/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned applied for state pension non-contributory on 10 May 2021. The person reached pension age, 66, on 13 August 2021 and state pension non-contributory, at the maximum weekly rate, has been awarded with effect from that date, together with an increase for qualified adult payment in respect of their spouse.
The person concerned was notified of this decision in writing on 10 September 2021. The person’s first payment, together with arrears of pension covering the period 13 August to 16 September 2021, will be available for collection at their nominated Post Office on Friday 17 September 2021.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
