Summary
The claimant had been refused a pension because the assessed value of his holding and potato business exceeded the means limit; he could reapply if circumstances changed.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare when an overdue old age pension will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Galway.
Comment on this
An appeals officer decided in May 1980 that the person concerned was not entitled to any old age pension as his means, consisting of the weekly value of a holding and earnings from a potato business, exceeded the statutory limit. If there has been any change in the person's circumstances it is open to him to reapply for pension.
