Payments between 65 and 66

[Highlight]

I am currently working 3 days per week and receiving Jobseekers Benefit for 2 days.I will be 65 in January 2016 and I will have an average of 28 stamps per anunm and will qualify for a Pension of €196 per week at 66 according to Dept of Social Welfare.What I want to know is if I leave work at 65 will I be entitled to any payments between 65 and 66.Also if I left at 64 whats the story.Any help would be appreciated.

Interesting question since they did away with the transition payment that bridged the gap from 65 to 66.

It looks as if you will need to keep going to 66.
However not certain.
This link also sheds some light on the 65 66 space

You can continue to sign on until you reach 66.
