Recently widowed woman is now receiving a pension from her husband's former employers (semi-state) but she's paying emergency tax because they have no PPS number for her - but she never had a PPS number. Should she just get on to Revenue about this? Can they sort it out even without a PPS number?
Secondly, she has also been told that she is entitled to a state pension (widow's/contributory??) but at the moment she has an accountant sorting out her husband's tax affairs - she's not certain of the situation yet but suspects that her husband owes tax for the last year or two, which coincided with his illness. Must all this be sorted out first before she can apply for the state pension?
Thanks.
