I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the person concerned has been awarded a state pension (contributory), with effect from 9 December 2015, their 66th birthday.

The Deciding Officer notified the person concerned of their decision, including details of arrears due, on 13 July 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
