I worked in Britain in the 1970s as an employee and paid PAYE and National Insurance contributions in the normal way. I have now been informed by the British Inland Revenue that if I pay a further 7 years National Insurance contributions I will become entitled to receive the minimum 25% of the standard rate basic State Pension (£21.06 per week at current rates) on reaching retirement age in 10 years time. The 7 years contributions would cost me about £1,600.
Since returning from Britain I have been employed as a PAYE worker and expect to continue until I'm 65. Therefore I would expect to receive a full contributory pension on retirement. Is there any restriction on me receiving both the British and Irish pensions in these circumstances.
