Hi. I have searched the forum, but cannot find anything specific to my situation, which changed in 2014 after Ireland increased the retirement age.
I am a UK citizen, with 30+ years of contributions in the UK. I came to Ireland permanently in 2002, and was employed continuously until an accident at the end of 2009. From then, I have been getting Disability Allowance and credited contributions. I am entitled to a UK state pension at 65, and possibly a partial Irish pension at 66. As far as I am aware, Disability Allowance changes to state pension at 66. My question is when do I claim what from where? Do I claim from the UK at 65? The UK pension no longer allows claiming for dependents, so I assume I would lose some but not all of the Disability Allowance? Or do I claim from Ireland and the UK at 66? I would expect many people to be in this situation, but have yet to find any definitive advice. Can anyone offer any help please?
