A friend of mine is 55 and currently on disability benefit for approx 12 years. He worked for 6 years between 1969 and 1974 inclusive, he did not work between 1975 and 1987, and worked 3 years between 1988 and 1991 when he went on disability benefit.
Is he entitled to a state pension at age 65?
Do the credits he is receiving while on disability benefit count towards his pension?
Is he entitled to a contributory or non contributory pension?
How is it calculated?
