The person concerned reached pension age on 18 June 2020 and applied for State pension (contributory) on 11 November 2020.

They have been awarded 65.91% of the maximum rate of State pension (contributory) with effect from their 66th birthday. They were notified in writing of this decision and arrears due on 21 January 2021.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
