The person concerned applied for State pension non-contributory on 13 November 2017. This is a means tested pension.

An inspector of the Department interviewed the person concerned on 19 December 2017 and requested further documentation in connection with their application. As soon as this is to hand a decision on entitlement will be made and the applicant will be notified of the outcome without delay.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
