Will My Partner's disability benefit be affected?

[Storeman07]

We are currently applying for mortgage approval. I'm in full time employment and my partner is currently receiving disability benefit. She hasn't worked in over 5 years so her PRSI contributions would have well run out. Will her benefit be affected in any way if we buy a property together. Any advice would be very grateful. Thanks

As Illness Benefit is based on PRSI contributions, it will not be affected by the change in circumstances which you've mentioned.
