The number of estates cases for each of the years 2000 to 2005 where the Pension Services Office of my Department raised overpayments is as follows:

Year No. of cases where overpayments raised
2000 508
2001 474
2002 406
2003 388
2004 335
2005 272

My Department does not have statistics on the number of the above cases where the next-of-kin of the deceased pensioners stated that the overpayments arose partly or in total from savings accumulated from non-contributory pensions.
