Would this couple be entitled to a medical card.
Married couple aged about 62 years not working. .
They own their principal home ..no mortgage.
They have a second home in need of a lot of repair...no mortgage ..no income . Approx. value €200k.
They have one income of €280.00 p/w. pension and about €300.00 p/w JSB. ( due to end soon)
They have total savings of approx. €60k.
Outgoings include heat/light/Vhi/property tax (x2) etc.
They will be digging into their savings soon.
Should they apply for a medical card or are they over the income limit.
Thanks.
