My mum is 83, my father is deceased. She has no stamps as she never worked in Ireland; she did work in UK for 3 years but needs 10 years of NI contributions which she doesn’t have and it’s too late to buy more. She is receiving a pension from my deceased fathers pension of 1200 a month but is really struggling during the winter with heating bills (oil) and all the other bills she has to pay electricity, medical etc. She has no savings, she only has her home.
We are wondering if she would be eligible for any non-contributory pension to help cover the deficits? Can anyone tell me what the own monthly income limit is for cut off eligibility is.
