The person concerned applied for their State pension (contributory) on 18 September 2020 and will reach pension age on 18 February 2021. They were awarded the maximum rate of pension with effect from their 66th birthday. They were notified in writing of this decision on 8 January 2021.

The legislation confirming pension age as 66 was enacted on 22 December 2020.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
