Contributory Old Age Pension - qualified adult dependent

[johnfenit]

hello,

Husband reaches 66 and gets the contributory pension. His wife qualifies on a means test as as a qualified dependent adult. at what age does is she entitled to claim payment?

i.e. if she is (say) aged - 60, does she have to wait until she reaches 66?

thanks

John

No. She claims when he claims the State Retirement Pension (currently 66).
