The person concerned will reach pension age on 9 November 2020.  Their application for State pension (contributory) was received on 9 September 2020. 

According to the records of my Department, the person concerned has a social insurance record of 1,335 full-rate paid contributions, 27 credited contributions and 681 HomeCaring Periods. This gives them an entitlement to a standard State pension (contributory) at 98.22% of the maximum rate. The weekly rate of payment will be €243.90.  They were notified in writing of this decision on 16 October 2020.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
