Would that be salary when he finished in Ireland, which was low, or salary when he finished work nearly two decades later (high). He will I think meet the income ceiling threshold of 12,800 (13k) I think, around age 62, this is being calculated right now by the pension body here, and they have written to Ireland to liaise with them as both countries PRSI records (stamps) are relevant and basically he will have two state pensions. If he doesn't meet the 13 k limit he certainly will when the company pension kicks in at 65. If we ever get to see it.
I wonder would the rental income count for the above purposes of the 13k.
I'll phone the pension holder and see what they say because Steven who is an expert in this area thinks the pension companies won't want to waste their time with a trivial amount.
