older peopleSection B: Older PeopleExpenditure and RecipientsExpenditure on payments for older people was over €4,569 million in 2009. This represents an increase of 6.3%on 2008.The overall number of payments for older people rose by 14,731 in 2009, an increase of 4.0% on 2008.The number of people in receipt of a contributory pension (State Pension (Contributory) and State Pension(Transition)) based on social insurance contributions rose by 16,121 while the number of people in receipt ofthe means tested State Pension (Non-Contributory) increased by 14. The number of people in receipt of Pre-Retirement Allowance fell by 1,404 in 2009.Notes: Scheme Changes and Comparability of Year-on-Year Data26In 2006 age related pensions were replaced by State Pensions, with significant administrative alterations toseveral weekly payment types which had up to that point provided for people aged over 65. These changes,implemented in stages following the introduction of the State Pensions, have resulted in substantial migrationsof recipients between scheme types, with accompanying changes in expenditure on these schemes. The mostsignificant transfers of recipients were those involving State Pension (Contributory), formerly known as Old AgePension (Contributory), and State Pension (Transition), formerly known as Retirement Pension.Recipients of Widow/er’s Pension, Deserted Wife’s Allowance, Blind Pension, One Parent Family Payment andPrisoner’s Wife’s Allowance have since 2006 been transferred to State Pension (Non-Contributory) upon reaching66 years of age, resulting in some decreases in recipients and expenditure on such schemes and concomitantincreases in recipients and expenditure on State Pension (Non-Contributory). Further alterations have resulted inQualified Adults of a State Pension (Non-Contributory) aged over 66 qualifying for a pension in their own right,with recipients of Invalidity Pension aged 66 years or over being automatically transferred to State Pension(Contributory) on reaching that age threshold.A side-effect of these changes is the erosion of data comparability between 2006 and subsequent years in relationto recipients and expenditure on the affected schemes<strong>Statistical</strong> <strong>Information</strong> on Social Welfare Services 2009
