Hello all,
I have a query about the above. I will likely have a (close to full if not full) contributory pension when I hit retirement age. My German wife has never worked in Ireland. She is an employee here in Germany and will qualify for the German state pension. Should anything happen to me, would she be entitled to the survivor's pension and if so, when and for how long?
Thanks and all the best,
Phil
