Paragraph 109 Back-dating of applications: pensioners

Subject to sub-paragraph (2), the time for the making of an application under this scheme by a pensioner is as regards any day on which, apart from satisfying the condition of making an application, the applicant is entitled to such a reduction, that day and the period of three months immediately following it.

In any case where paragraph 108(1)(a) applies (date on which application is made), sub-paragraph (1) does not entitle a person to apply for a reduction under this scheme in respect of any day earlier than 3 months before the date on which the claim for state pension credit is made (or treated as made by virtue of any provision of the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1987^f1).
