I won't go into the in's and out's of this one but as I read it, someone in receipt of a state (contributory) pension can receive up to €206.30 pw for a qualified adult (in this case a wife with no means of her own).
Should said wife be divorced she could receive a state (non contributory) pension herself of €219 pw once she passed the means test.
Both parties are >66. The ex-wife's other income (including maintenance) would not exceed €200- pw (as per means test) and lives alone.
Would the ex-wives pension exceed the married wifes pension ? (€206.30 < €219)
I'm looking at the Citizens Information website but there's a lot on it.
