I've heard speculation that the UK budget in October may possibly introduce a means test to the UK state pension. This could mean those with other income might not receive the state pension at all. I wonder would this potentially impact Irish residents?
The chance of a means test being introduced on the state pension in this budget is highly unlikely - they're already on the back foot over the means test on the winter fuel payment.
I think you can sleep soundly at least until the triple lock is gone. It's due to go up another £460 this year.
