State pension (non-contributory) is a means-tested payment for people aged 66 and over who have a legal right of residence and habitually reside in the State, and who do not qualify for a state pension contributory, or only qualify for a reduced-rate contributory pension based on their social insurance record.
The eligibility of the person concerned for a state pension non-contributory is currently under review, following the receipt of information from the Deputy on 29 May 2024.
On 5 June 2024, the Deciding Officer assigned to the case issued a communication to the person concerned requesting further documentation in this matter. On receipt of the required information, a determination on the person's eligibility for pension will be made and the person will be notified of the outcome in writing.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
