Hi All

Am wondering if anyone has any experience/information in this area.

I have contributions in U.S. and Ireland, though neither is enough for full rate pension. Have dual citizenship. I do qualify now at 62 for partial US pension. But when I meet Irish Pension age, can I avail of both at their respective reduced or partial rates?

I would take the US pension now, but have been advised that it would count as means and would affect my Disability Allowance payment and I would be about €5.00 better off per week.

Thanks
