As the person concerned is over the age of 65, it is recommended that she submit a claim for State pension (transition) to the Department at her earliest convenience. A claim form and freepost return envelope has been issued to the person concerned. On receipt of her application, her entitlement will be fully examined, and she will be notified of the outcome without delay.
