    Quick question -

    I have a scenario where one spouse is receiving a contributory state pension of approx. €320 which includes an increase for an adult dependant under 65 who is earning approx. €200 per week in employment. The spouse is turning 66 this year and will be in receipt of a contributory pension of approx. €215.

    Question is does the first spouse still receive the adult dependent increase for the second spouse even after she is receiving her own contributory pension?

    Hope I explained myself properly.

    Thanks in advance.

    No. Whichever is the more beneficial financially

    No, once the spouse is in receipt of his or her own pension, the increase will cease
