Is it the HSE or the NHSS who corresponded with your relative? We all use the term Fair Deal, but all the administration is done through the NHSS (Nursing Home Support Scheme). They are helpful, but might not be able to deal with you if you weren't named on the original form and aren't an...

On the Fair Deal application, someone must be named who will take responsibility for ensuring the finances are sorted out after the person dies. Is that you Brontë? To fully understand the finances you'd need to see the original application form and the subsequent correspondence. The form and...

I'm finding it hard to follow. Was the deceased person living in the house before moving to the care home? The Fair Deal contribution they paid would've included a percentage of the value of the house. I'd guess the living partner had to agree or be informed at least if they are a co owner. Did...

Apologies - I misread the original post. Yes Notional Service is an option so.

If you work full time until age 65, you'll have full service (40 years).

I've used Cornmarket for my car insurance for many years. The price is competitive. But the main reason I like being with them is that I use my car for work and I have all the cover I need. For example, we have a student with us at the moment and I know I can bring her in my car. Whereas some of...

Regarding estate agents not allowing viewings - my son was a first time buyer. He was refused viewings until he had mortgage approval.

Usually named drivers are close family. Very disappointing for you that a family member would put you in this position. Do you think he's hiding something? Any time I put my sister on my policy, I have to check lots of information with her first - such as whether she has any claims outstanding...

I got an email about the changes to my flight times. (My outward journey is about 4 months away.) I'd like to change the time of my return flight. On the email there is a 'Click here' link which brings me to a Contact Us page. It looks like I there are a few options including phoning or Let's...

My parents keep a credit union account so they can avail of a group discount for private health insurance.

The size of your wife's pension will depend on the number of full time years she has worked. 40 years are needed for the maximum pension. If she works half time hours, each calendar year will only count as a half year for example. The earlier she retires, the fewer years she'll have worked...

Even if there are no assets, he'd have to pay a percentage of his income/ pension.

If he is eligible to retire at 60 with an A Class pension, he should be eligible for a Supplementary pension. The Supplementary pension makes up the difference between the A Class pension and a D class pension, until he gets his Contributory pension at 66.

You can take out a policy through Cornmarket without a consultation if you wish to avoid the fee.

I assume you mean the Contributory State Pension

You'll get better feedback if you start a new thread instead of joining a thread about probate. But it's also worth looking back through other questions - this query seems to come up quite often - from both sides.

Gosh - that would affect me too. Very interested in information on this.

It's worked out based on the number of hours worked compared to working full time. So if you're job sharing or 0.5 of a WTE (Whole Time Equivalent) you'll get half a year for pension purposes for each year of work.

Mathepac, a lot of community services are available to everyone, it's not necessary to hold a medical card. I'm not familiar with the Community Intervention Teams, but the HSE website doesn't specify it's for medical card holders. There are a lot of great public health services - but sometimes...

Maybe that was some type of convalescence arrangement. One of my parents, with a medical card, availed of Fair Deal in a Nursing Home.It still cost a fortune, it definitely was not fully covered.
