What is the "pension claim number" and where can I find it?

[podgerodge]

Am wading through the initial stages of the Fair Deal Scheme to prepare for potential eventuality.

Form requires "pension claim number" - all I can find is the Public Services Card.

Any ideas where I can find this?

Thanks.

Don't worry about it. It's not mandatory and neither is the RTB reference number, so if you haven't got one then just leave it blank.

The only thing that is mandatory in that section is your PPSN.

Your PPSN will be sufficient as a pension claim number. SW used to issue pension claim numbers, but now use the PPSN.

Thanks both!
