15.06.1999 Lost Pension Arrears

The Ombudsman, Kevin Murphy, has today (15 June) published Lost Pension Arrears, a special report to the Oireachtas based on more than 200 complaints received by his Office since 1985. The pensions in question are the contributory old age and the contributory widow's pensions payable by the Department of Social, Community & Family Affairs. The complaints relate to the fact that, when eligible people are late in claiming these pensions, most of the pension arrears remain unpaid. This penalty applies despite the fact that these are contributory pensions where the entitlement is created by the pensioner (or spouse) having paid social insurance while at work. The practice of the Department has been a source of complaint for many years. In 1997 the Ombudsman published an investigation report on the matter and this resulted in an easing, but not the removal, of the penalty. Today's report is a general case study in public administration. It takes the issue of pension arrears as the particular example from which general questions are raised and analysed.
