Has anyone any thoughts....
I have begun the application process with the UK Pensions Centre for my UK pension (19 full years of contributions + applying to buy voluntary NI).
I'm now looking at the Irish Pension Contributory form application & reading " we will apply to that country (UK) on your behalf".
I would rather apply independently & keep them separate.....
Is this possible, am I within my rights to do so?
I'm an Irish citizen turning 66 years. Worked in both countries. Now living abroad in the EU.
TIA!
