HC Deb 11 July 1946 vol 425 c110W
Mr. Hollis

asked the Minister of National Insurance whether it is possible for a person entitled to old age pension who has omitted to draw that pension for a number of years, to now draw the back pension to which he would have been entitled.

Mr. J. Griffiths

No, Sir. Arrears of contributory old age pension can, under the Statute, be paid only for three months immediately preceding the date on which a claim is made.
