Some advice if you will.
My wife had been self employed (part time) for the past four years. She declared everything and was averaging about €5k pa. It wasn't much but paid a bill or two.
Last March she closed up as it wasn't feasible to continue anymore.
She has no plans to return to the workforce.
I work full time in a decent public sector job.
I know that my wife will not be entitled to any social welfare payment due to my salary BUT should she be signing on anyway to receive credit towards pension? Or for any other reason?
Thank you
