    Carers Allowance and Disability Pension clarification sought

    Thank you very much gipimann..... I had a total misunderstanding, as the carers seems to have always had a higher over 66 payment. I wasn't aware of that. That's because I was not approaching the dreaded 66, when I had to leave work to care for my wife, and I didn't check. Now it's a lot...

    Top slicing relief on ex gratia payments gone. Tax-free lump-sum not affected

I was just 56 then, and I was given my benefits early under an Early Retirement Scheme in effect...

    Top slicing relief on ex gratia payments gone. Tax-free lump-sum not affected

    Thanks for getting back re this so soon, Brendan, it is much appreciated. I know it is a very niche concern, but believe me, it is very worrying to see this happening and that feeling of your long awaited lump sum being decimated by the Revenue leaves one with an awful feeling of foreboding...

    This sounds just awful to me. I was an eircom employee. Due to ill-health, Cancer, I took early retirement in 2010, got a fortnightly payment, and am due to get my deferred pension, based on over 39 years service next March, 2014. This would also include a Lump Sum Gratuity based on service...

    Company Liquidation...redundancy...no funds!!!

    mandelbrot....thank you for your advice. I can assure you that I was not playing "detective" in this matter. I was merely attempting to reassure a friend who is now in a desperate position. I was asked for help, hence my OP. I was foolishly under the impression that these situations...
