Comment on this
The social welfare officer, who is investigating the repeat claim to pension of the person concerned, is awaiting details of a will and probate which are necessary to enable him to finalise his report in the case. If a pension is recommended it will be put into payment on a provisional basis pending the local pension committee's decision. Should the decision be unfavourable the claimant will, of course, have the right of appeal against it.
