Conclusion
For those reasons, I conclude that the decision of the First-tier Tribunal was made in error of law but that the construction of the relevant provisions which has been adopted by the DWP in the appellant’s case is the correct construction. I therefore set aside the decision of the First-tier Tribunal and substitute my own decision. My decision is that the appellant’s entitlement to pension was correctly calculated in the sum of £323.35 with effect from 20th June 2022, made up as set out in the DWP submission dated 9th August 2024 to the First-tier Tribunal.
