The pension is made up of a personal rate for you and extra amounts for a qualified adult and child(ren). You will get the maximum personal rate of State Pension (Non-Contributory) if your weekly means are €30 or less. Who is a qualified adult? In general, a qualified adult is your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant. You may get an increase in pension for them as long as they are not getting a social welfare payment in their own right, except Carer's Allowance (where special arrangements apply). The Increase for a Qualified Adult is graduated in line with your personal rate of pension. For more information, log on to 'www.welfare.ie'. Note: Since September 2007, by law we pay the increase for a qualified adult directly to the spouse, civil partner or cohabitant concerned unless they specify that it can be paid to you. Note: If you are awarded an increase for a qualified adult (IQA), please keep in mind that your qualified adult may be entitled to claim a State Pension (Non-Contributory) in their own right on reaching age 66. On reaching age 66 the increase for a qualified adult will automatically cease and they will be invited to apply for State Pension in their own right. It should be noted that it will be financially more beneficial to you as a couple if each of you receives a pension in your own right. Alternatively, if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant has been employed or self-employed, they may qualify for either a State Pension (Contributory) at age 66. For more information, log on to 'www.welfare.ie'. Who is a qualified child? A qualified child is any child up to age 18, who normally lives with and is being supported by you, or up to age 22 if they are in full-time education by day. A child who is age 18 or over and is normally living with you is also considered your qualified child for the 3 month period after they leave second level education or complete the Leaving Certificate exam. If you qualify for a Qualified Adult Increase for your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant, you will get the full rate Qualified Child Increase for your qualified child(ren). If your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is getting a social welfare payment in their own right, they will get half the Qualified Child Increase appropriate to their payment and you will get half the Qualified Child Increase on your pension. You cannot get a Qualified Child Increase if the child is getting a social welfare payment in their own right.

Tá an pinsean comhdhéanta de ráta pearsanta duit agus suimeanna breise um dhuine fásta cáilithe agus um leanbh/leanaí cáilithe. Gheobhaidh tú uasráta pearsanta Phinsean na nDall más í an acmhainn sheachtainiúil atá agat ná €7.60 nó níos lú ná sin. Cé atá ina dhuine fásta cáilithe? Is duine fásta cáilithe é do chéile, do pháirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomhchónaitheoir, i gcoitinne. Féadfaidh tú méadú sa phinsean a fháil ina leith fad is nach bhfaighidh sé/sí íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh dá c(h)eart féin, ach amháin an Liúntas Cúramóra (mar a bhfuil feidhm ag socruithe ar leith). Céimnítear an Méadú um Dhuine Fásta Cáilithe de réir ráta pearsanta do phinsin féin. Chun a thuilleadh eolais a fháil, logáil isteach ar www.welfare.ie. Má cháilíonn tú agus do chéile, do pháirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomhchónaitheoir do Phinsean na nDall, gheobhaidh ceachtar agaibh ráta pearsanta Phinsean na nDall. Má cháilíonn tú do Phinsean na nDall agus má fhaigheann do chéile, do pháirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomhchónaitheoir íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh eile, gheobhaidh ceachtar agaibh rátaí pearsanta na n-íocaíochtaí faoi seach. Beidh feidhm ag an rud céanna má tá do chéile, do pháirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomhchónaitheoir dall agus má fhaigheann tú íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh eile. Cé atá ina leanbh cáilithe? Is leanbh cáilithe é aon leanbh atá suas le 18 mbliana d’aois, a chónaíonn leat de ghnáth agus atá á chothabháil agat, nó leanbh atá suas le 22 bhliain d’aois má tá sé/sí in oideachas lánaimseartha de ló. Meastar freisin leanbh atá 18 mbliana d’aois nó os a chionn sin agus a chónaíonn leat de ghnáth ina leanbh cáilithe de do chuid ar feadh na tréimhse 3 mhí tar éis dó/di an t-oideachas dara leibhéal a fhágáil nó Scrúdú na hArdteistiméireachta a dhéanamh. Má cháilíonn tú do Mhéadú um Dhuine Fásta Cáilithe i leith do chéile, do pháirtnéara shibhialta nó do chomhchónaitheora, gheobhaidh tú ráta iomlán an Mhéadaithe um Leanbh Cáilithe i leith do linbh/leanaí atá cáilithe. Má fhaigheann do chéile, do pháirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomhchónaitheoir íocaíocht leasa sóisialaigh dá c(h)eart féin, gheobhaidh sé/sí leath an Mhéadaithe um Leanbh Cáilithe is iomchuí dá (h)íocaíocht agus gheobhaidh tú leath an Mhéadaithe um Leanbh Cáilithe ar do phinsean. Ní féidir leat Méadú um Leanbh Cáilithe a fháil má fhaigheann an leanbh íocaíocht leasa sóisialaigh dá c(h)eart féin.
