State Pension (Transition) and State Pension (Contributory) - SW 118Can anyone tell me the qualifying conditions for a non-contributory old age pension in Ireland?
Hi Captin Sobel
If the couple are on the Contributory Old age pension, they will not be entitled to the Non-Contributory Old age pension, it's either one or the other.

When you say State Pension do you mean Civil Service Pension rather than Social Welfare pension.
At €1800 per month it is unlikely that you would pass the means test for a Non-Con Social Welfare pension as the income of both spouses is assessed jointly. Your income at present is above the maximum rate payable on non-con pension

Just a thought. Did you have another life before teaching in which you may have paid PRSI or would your wife have paid PRSI at any stage of her life
Your friend can obtain her records of all PRSI paid by her at any time during her working life by writing to Central Records Section, Gandon House, Amiens Street, Dublin 1. This may take up to 10 weeks for a reply.
Add the number of payments and credits on that list to see if she comes up to the basic requirement for a part pension. If she thinks there is a possibility that she may hit the target send the records to Pension office with a completed Contributory application.
When applying for records she will need to give her PPS number, Name + Maiden Name (and any other name she may have worked under, perhaps she may have used her name as Gaeilge)
Do they have Medical cards, Free travel, Household Benefits, Free Passports, & Free Driving Licences
