Comment on this

The application of the person concerned for a non-contributory old age pension which was received on 8 April 1981 is under investigation. When the necessary inquiries have been completed the claim will be referred to the local pension committee for decision.

If payment of a pension is recommended by the social welfare officer it will be paid provisionally pending the pension committee's decision. If the decision is unfavourable the claimant will, of course, have the right of appeal against it.
