Summary
An appeals officer awarded the claimant the maximum non-contributory pension, including a spouse allowance, with arrears; the delay resulted from a temporarily misplaced file.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason for the delay in the payment of an old age pension to a person (details supplied) in County Cork.
Comment on this
An appeals officer has decided that the person concerned is entitled to a non-contributory old age pension at the maximum rate, including an allowance for his wife, with effect from 27 March 1980. The appropriate pension order book and arrears have issued. The delay in payment, which I very much regret, was due to the temporary misplacement of the pensioner's file.
