HC Deb 24 November 1909 vol 13 c196
Mr. FLAVIN

asked whether Timothy Neale, of Gortclohy, Kilflynn, was in receipt of an old age pension; whether Neale had been informed by the pension officer of the district that he was to be disqualified for an old age pension; and, if so, on what grounds?

Mr. BIRRELL

Neale was awarded a pension of 5s. a week by the Ardfert Pensions Sub-Committee. The pension officer appealed against their decision on the ground that claimant's means exceeded the statutory limit, and the Local Government Board, on full consideration of the case, upheld the appeal.
