The claim to State pension (transition) of the person concerned was disallowed on 23 October 2013 and he was notified of this decision on the basis that he has a total of 92 full-rate paid social insurance contributions. To be eligible for State pension (transition), he would require a minimum of 520 paid contributions.

I have asked that the application be reviewed and the applicant will be notified of the outcome of this review without delay.
