Following a recent decision by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the widow's non-contributory pension application of the person concerned, their application for widow's contributory pension is being reviewed by a Deciding Officer. On completion of the review, the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.

In the meantime, the person concerned will continue to receive their widow's non-contributory pension entitlement.
