State pension non-contributory is a means-tested payment for people aged 66 and over, habitually residing in the State, who do not qualify for a contributory state pension, or who only qualify for a reduced rate contributory pension based on their social insurance record.
The Department has no record of a state pension non-contributory application having been received from the person concerned. Following contact with the Deputy's office, the person's eligibility for state pension non-contributory will be examined on receipt of their completed application form (together with any necessary supporting documentation) and the person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
