hello,
I will be applying shortly for the state contributory pension. My wife has no A1 stamps and a public sector pension of c€200 per week. Apart from joint home ownership and savings of €19,000, she has no other assets. No joint bank account with me.
Her application for adult dependent state pension will obviously be means tested and any entitlement will be based on my yearly average contributions and further rebated by her existing pension.
My query: my wife has a PRSA untouched and she has no plans to activate or draw cash from it. Will Social Welfare factor the PRSA into their calculation?
Thanks
John
