One of the conditions for the receipt of old age (contributory) pension is that the claimant must have a yearly average of not less than 48 contributions paid or credited to the end of the last contribution year before reaching the age of 70. The maximum period over which this average could be calculated in the case of a person who was insured under the National Health Insurance Acts was previously 15 years. These Regulations provide that in the case of such a person, the period over which this average is calculated may be extended to a maximum of 20 years before he attained the age of 70.
