274. Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Social Protection if she can make provision to ensure that those persons who had been in receipt of illness benefit for a substantial number of years, commencing before there was a requirement to apply for invalidity pension, will not be denied a contributory old age pension on grounds of insufficient paid stamps, bearing in mind that had they switched to invalidity pension they would have automatically qualified for COAP at age 66, without regard to contributions, and their long period of certified illness shows they met the conditions for invalidity pension.
