asked the Minister for Social Welfare why an old age pension has not been granted to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford.
Comment on this
An appeals officer determined on 20 January 1978 that the person concerned was not entitled to an old age pension on the ground that he did not fulfil the statutory condition as to means. The evidence before the appeals officer indicated that the claimant had failed to disclose his means fully. If the claimant is now in a position to make a full disclosure of his means it is open to him to make a fresh claim for a pension.
