I am in full time employment and I will not be retiring for another four years. However, my wife who has been unemploymed since our marriage of 40 years, will be 66 shortly and I was wondering if she will be entitled to claim and non-contributary pension.
 
She will as far as i know be entitled to the non contributory pension which is mean tested..i assume you are getting the dependent allowance at present.
 
Well if she has not worked for more than 40 yrs, its certain that Welfare will have putrged her record. A similar occurance happened to my wife in 2002. She applied to contribute to a SSIA and gave her now PPSN. She had,nt worked since 1981 and was informed by Welfare that her record had been purged, as no contributions had been credited in 20yrs.
 
Tentman I don't think Social Welfare delete records.....they may have purged to archive media but they can be retrieved.
