I am happy to confirm that the person to whom the Deputy refers is entitled to pension benefits from the Department of Education from the date of their 60th birthday.  These benefits are payable upon application. 

Officials from the Pension Unit of my Department are currently preparing a service/benefit statement for the person concerned, to issue imminently by post, along with the appropriate application form for pension benefits. 

The benefits due will be paid with effect from the person’s 60th birthday, upon receipt of the completed application form to the Pension Unit of my Department and its successful processing.
