Hopefully someone with some knowledge of pensions will be able to help me out.
My mother is turning 65 soon and still doesn't know what pension she is entitled to. Her situation is as follows, worked in uk for 30 years, was at home with kids for 10 years also. Worked last year in Ireland (moved back home). now unemployed. She receives a uk pension of about €60 a week at the moment. She also has saving, she sold her home in the uk 2 years ago and has the funds in a bank account. She plans to use this money to purchase a property for herself in Ireland in the near future.
She has enough stamps to obtain a contributory pension of €225.80, but how do her uk pension and savings come into the equation?
