HI - why do you say to apply for the UK state pension first? Thanks.You do not need to contact Sligo or Newcastle. The application forms for both pensions are available online. Apply for UK one first.
I'm very nearly 63. Still working, in UK, and already qualify for full UK state pension.I've been drawing the UK and the Irish full state pensions for a few years - if you qualify for both you can get both. For the UK pension you deal with Newcastle until you apply (forecasts, voluntary contributions etc) and the application itself can either be done through Sligo or direct to the UK International Pension Centre. I went through Sligo and there was no problem at all.
I feel very fortunate to have both just because I happened to move here at the middle of my working life.
If you register for myWelfare you can easily request a PRSI contribution statement.From memory, I have 887 prsi contributions.
I have the statement. Just couldn't be bothered to go and find it.If you register for myWelfare you can easily request a PRSI contribution statement.

Because it's paid a year earlier than Irish state pension.HI - why do you say to apply for the UK state pension first? Thanks.
From memory, I have 887 prsi contributions. Most or all on here seem to think I would get something from that. The doubt in my mind is mainly down to this : ............. and there follows a list of criteria but the bottom one is incomplete.
Both UK and Irish state pensions are paid at 66 now.Because it's paid a year earlier than Irish state pension.
Started paying PRSI in 1990, and yes , they're all A class. Last payment was 2010. That wasn't continuous, as there was a gap of three or four years when I working out of Ireland.So 887 gives you 15 years (assuming they are A Class). At a minimum that will get you 15/40ths of a State Pension under the Total Contribution Approach. And maybe you can add to that between now and age 66.
You might get a higher figure under the Totals and Average model, but I would need to know when you first stated paying PRSI in Ireland.
Yes, UK state pension starts on 66th birthday only for those people born 6 October 1954 through 5 April 1960.Depends on your year of birth, UK may not pay till age 67
As far as I can recall - on request Sligo sent me the application form for my UK pension, I returned it to Sligo who sent it on to the UK who then started paying my pension into the account I specified (and presumably notified me of same). This was 5 years before I was due to claim my Irish state pension - before UK changed the age rule for women.when you say sligo did it all what exactly did they do for the English one? just make the contact and Newcastle contact you directly?
For people born between those dates , is the state pension age 66 or 67 in Ireland?Yes, UK state pension starts on 66th birthday only for those people born 6 October 1954 through 5 April 1960.
The current State Pension age in Ireland is 66 for all.For people born between those dates , is the state pension age 66 or 67 in Ireland?
