Having reviewed the payments record, I can confirm that the person concerned collected and signed for their weekly State Pension (Contributory) of €253.30 on 14 October 2022 covering payment for the period 14 October to 20 October 2022.

On 28 October 2022, the payment was collected and signed for by an agent known to him.  The payment of €759.90 included the Autumn cost of living double payment covering the period 21 October to 27 October 2022 plus the weekly payment for the period 28 October to 03 November 2022.

There are no outstanding arrears on the persons State Pension (contributory) payment.

A letter outlining the payment of pension for the period in question has issued to the person concerned.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
