PQ 74
141 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if her attention has been drawn to the difficulties which have arisen for old age pensioners who save part of their weekly pension and as a consequence accumulate savings in excess of the means test limit thereby giving rise to claims by her Department for reductions in pensions or clawback by the State; and her proposals to deal with this situation with a view to encouraging rather than discouraging savings by pensioners.
