Have a look at www.hia.ie. You can compare plans there, but be prepared for some hard work on that.

If she has, she should investigate her entitlement to a Contributory Pension. If she has 31 yrs service, she most likely avoided the introduction of Rate A PRSI for all new entrants to the public service from 1/4/1995. If she qualifies for Contributory Pension, she will fare out far better than...

In the PS you have to be over 60 to go on pension, unless you are retiring due to ill-health.

So its a win, win for Vodafone:mad:

If you worked only 10yrs, that would give you an entitlement to a minimum contributory pension only. To get a full pension you must have a minimum of 48 contributions per year. If your average pension contributions work out at a lower average, the you will get less than the maximum pension. Have...

No he is not. The Pensions Deduction has nothing to do with accrual of pension benefits. Its a cosy deduction cooked up by Brian Lenihan and his minions as a way to get public servants to contribute to filling the black hole that was Anglo:mad:

The 6.5 years is very near the max years that can be added on.

I think what was referred to was in relation to qualifying for a State pension. Your contributions to National Insurance in UK can be combined with your PRSI contributions here for the purposes of qualifying for a State Pension.

Cannot give you a definite answer, but with all the cutbacks I'd guess the level of contribution towards white goods has decreased. Might be best to contact your local citizens information centre. They generally have a good idea of whats going on.

I also have a now very small portfolio with FXCM. Emailed them last night to enquire about closing the account and sending me the share certificates. They replied this morning with a list of fees for issuing the the certs that, quite frankly, are a rip-off:mad:. The fee for getting American...

Anyone who retires on a full occupational pension before 66 is entitled to a Transition Pension from age 65 to 66. This is due to be discontinued from the end of 2013. The pensioners who retired from the Public Service after 40 yrs service and who were under 65 and who have paid PRSI at the A...

Did the Local Authority not inform you, at the time of your permanent appointment, that you had to have superannuation deducted from your pay in respect of time worked with them from 2000 to date of appointment? AFAIK they should have.

Thanks for the clarifications. Just to say that anyone who retired under the Incentivised Early Retirement also had their pension reduced by the PSPR. Then they were further cut by by having USC applied. So the €24,000 pensioner I mentioned had the guts of a further €900 in addition to the...

And what, pray tell, is the PSPR? Its a reduction, plain and simple. Or to most pensioners, a cut. The vast majority of PS pensioners have a pension of less than €60,000.00, where the major reduction comes in. And they applied to anyone who retired after 01/01/2010. And any married PS who...

Anyone that that retired after 01/01/2010 had their pensions cut by the same percentage cut that applied to all Public Servants. Only the Lump Sum calculations were preserved to 29/02/2012.

@Tipptop, is there any way your wife will qualify for Illness Benefit. Is her previous work record (prsi contributions) a reasonably long one? The Social Welfare Officer you mention is most likely a Community Welfare Officer. They can approve Supplementary Welfare Allowance only as a short-term...

A note re the 700/1400 threshold. Those figures are Gross. There is no allowance for any deductions or expenses.

Are you sure about this. I though it only applied from age 65 to 66. There was a raft of Class A prsi payers who retired from the HSE last February. A lot of these were in their early sixties. They were told by the various HR depts that they should apply for unemployment benefit. They would get...

Incorrect. Public Servants who retired on their old scales had their pensions cut.
