- An appeal against a Department of Social Protection decision must be lodged within 60 days of the date on the decision letter for decisions dated on or after 28 April 2025. What is lost: You must ask the Social Welfare Appeals Office for extra time, with good reasons for the delay and evidence if you can provide it. Official source, citizensinformation.ie (checked 1 September 2026)
- For older decisions the appeal window was only 21 days, so decisions issued before 28 April 2025 are governed by the shorter limit. What is lost: You must ask the Social Welfare Appeals Office for extra time, with good reasons for the delay and evidence if you can provide it.

- Claim State Pension (Contributory) within the prescribed time of 3 months from the first date of entitlement What is lost: The same table row gives a late claim disqualification of 6 months before date of claim for this scheme, meaning a claim made outside the 3 month prescribed time is treated as a late claim and backdated payment is limited to the 6 months before the date the claim is actually made, subject to the extended backdating grounds set out separately for this scheme. Official source, gov.ie (checked 1 September 2026)
- A late claim for the Irish State Pension (Contributory) can only be backdated six months, no matter how many years late it is. What is lost: Entitlement for any period earlier than six months before the claim is received is not paid. Official source, gov.ie (checked 1 September 2026)
