Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2023
710. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Social Protection if she is aware of an issue (details supplied); if she will ask her officials to review the situation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47430/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for state pension non-contributory was received from the person concerned on 15 June 2023. On 21 June 2023, the case was referred to a Social Welfare Inspector to investigate the means of the person concerned, so that their entitlement to pension could be assessed.
The person concerned has been awarded the maximum weekly rate of state pension (non-contributory) with effect from 16 June 2023 and was notified, in writing, of this decision on 26 October 2023. Payment of the arrears due will issue shortly.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
