Can someone please explain if this statement which I found on a website is still true? Not for me, but for my husband who has been both employed and self-employed for 32 years in Ireland and employed in the UK for 16 years.
Thanks for any help offered on this subject.
Yes, you can be paid both the UK and Irish state pensions if you qualify for both based on your respective social insurance record in each country. Records cannot be combined in each country if applying for independent pensions.
Does this mean that his Irish contributory pension is not being deducted by the amount received from a contributory UK pension?Thanks for any help offered on this subject.
