R roker Registered User Messages 2,054 4 Feb 2017 #3 It's What you say is Note 1 under 66 . Note 2 over 66 €209 increase to €213.50. So that means we both get a rise €4.50 + €5.0. Is that correct

G gipimann Registered User Messages 5,173 4 Feb 2017 #4 Apologies Roker, you are correct - the increases I quoted are for qualified adults under 66 years, not 80. If the qualified adult is 66 or over, then the increase is €4.50 (as well as €5 for the personal rate).
