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.
