Hi All,
Apologies if this has been asked before. I am 55, have a number of health challenges, involving a number of specialists. My GP feels I should apply for either disability allowance or perhaps Invalidity pension. I have worked most of my life , albeit partly abroad. I have a contributions statement and can't work out what contributions count towards an invalidity pension. I have some credited contributions. I am currently participating in a CE scheme ,local to me, its an admin roll, light duties etc, I choose it, primarily to keep as active as possible. I don't believe I am restricted for applying for DA or IP whilst on this scheme but if approved may have to come off it and re apply.
Any advice would be sincerely appreciated , I do have fuel allowance but obviously can not qualify for other allowances whist on a CE scheme, I have the long term illness card and full medical card thankfully. I live alone also.
Thanks in advance of any responses.
Morning Groucho, ok I totted both up , keep in mind I was working abroad for a number of years and also ill. So Totals up to an including 2021
Reckonable paid Contributions 1327
Rekkonable Credited Contributions 291
Total 1618
Thanks again
