The person concerned is in receipt of an Increase for a qualified adult on their State Pension (contributory). An increase for a qualified adult is a means-tested payment, payable to a claimant whose spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is being wholly or mainly maintained by them, and where that qualified adult’s personal means from any source does not exceed a means test income limit.

Following a recent review, the person concerned remains in receipt of the maximum rate increase for a qualified adult, €237.80 per week. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 8 May 2023.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
