Hi All,
I am struggling to find an answer for what happens to those in my situation.
I worked in Ireland before emigrating.
I have 10 years of PRSI Class A contributions. For 7 of these I was in the old pre 2013 HSE superannuation scheme, for the other 3 I was working in the private sector.
I just received an estimate of my HSE pension, which is approx 1070 p.a at retirement. This is considerably less than the lowest contributory state pension of 110 a week which I would be entitled to.
I understand usually those on the HSE pension don't get the state pension, but what happens if this disadvantages the recipient compared to the state pension?
