I will be 66 next year and by then I will have over 18 years PRSI contributions. I also paid enough National Insurance contributions to get close to a full UK state pension.
As I understand it, I could get a full Irish contributory state pension as I would have more than 48 weeks average PRSI contributions over the 18 years.
However, can I get a full Irish State pension and also the full amount of UK state pension that the National Insurance contributions would entitle me to?
Where should I apply for the pensions? To the DSP in Sligo only or to both countries separately?
