forgive me if this has been answered before, I couldn't find it on a search
We are a couple aged 67 and 66 living in the UK collecting just state pension (me full state pension & my wife her 60% of my pension), pension credit top up’s, I am also receiving AA.
We have our own small terraced house paid for, so that we presume would be considered capital moving to Ireland - or would it?
Our daughter living in Roscommon wants us to move over to be with her and her family.
From reading several forums it would appear that moving to Ireland from the UK we’d lose the pension credit top up and council tax relief.
The question is, moving to Ireland what all exactly are we entitled to in any of the welfare benefits to make up what we would lose from the UK?
We plan to use the proceeds from the sale of our home in the UK to buy in Ireland as first time home buyers and any money left we’d stick under the mattress (safety deposit box or a no interest account)
Thanks for any help
