The person concerned reached pension age on 30 May 2022. An application for state pension (non-contributory) was received on 10 October 2022. There is no record of any previous state pension (non-contributory) application(s) received by my Department.

The person concerned has been awarded state pension (non-contributory) with effect from 3 June 2022 and was notified, in writing, of this decision on 14 October 2022. Payment of arrears due will issue to the person concerned shortly.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
