The application for State pension (contributory) has been reviewed and the position set out in my reply on the 17th July remains unchanged. The person concerned, according to the records of the Department, has a yearly average of 4 contributions from 1952 to 1996. Therefore, she does not satisfy the qualifying conditions and her claim was disallowed.
