Your pension is made up of a personal amount for yourself and extra amounts for a qualified adult and qualified children (if any). Your personal rate of State Pension (Contributory) or State Pension (Transition) is not affected by any other income, savings or pensions you may have. For more information, log on to 'www.welfare.ie'. State Pension (Transition) is payable up to age 66. Your payment will be automatically transferred to State Pension (Contributory) from the date you reach 66 years. Some people on a reduced State Pension (Transition) may qualify for a higher State Pension (Contributory) when they reach age 66. On top of your pension, you may also qualify for the following weekly payments: - Living Alone Increase, which you should apply for if you are aged 66 or over and live alone or mainly alone, - Age 80 Allowance, which you will get automatically at age 80. Please note this allowance is not payable on the Increase for a Qualified Adult, and - Island Allowance, which you should apply for if you live on certain Irish offshore islands. For more information, log on to 'www.welfare.ie'. You may get increases for a qualified adult and qualified children. Please note that the Increase for a Qualified Adult is subject to a means test based on the qualified adult's means. Who is a qualified adult? A qualified adult is your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant. If you have children living with you and you are single, widowed or separated, a qualified adult is the person who is caring for your child(ren), provided the person is aged 16 or over and is living with and being supported by you. Note: Since 24th September 2007, by law we must 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. You will not get an increase for a qualified adult if they: - have gross weekly income of more than €310, or - are getting a social welfare payment in their own right (except Disablement Pension, Supplementary Welfare Allowance, Guardian's Payment (Contributory) or (Non-Contributory) or Child Benefit), or - are disqualified from getting jobseeker's payments while taking part in a trade dispute, or - are taking part in a full-time FÁS non-craft training course or a VTOS course. Note: If your spouse's, civil partner's or cohabitant's gross weekly income is €100 or less, you will receive the full Increase for a Qualified Adult for them. If they have income of between €100 and €310 a week, you may get a reduced payment for them. For more information, log on to 'www.welfare'.ie. See Appendix 4 for details on how the means of a Qualified Adult are calculated. Your spouse's, civil partner's or cohabitant's pension in their own right If you are getting an increase on your pension for a qualified adult, they may qualify in their own right for a State Pension (Transition) at age 65 or a State Pension (Contributory) or State Pension (Non-Contributory) at age 66, if they have been insurably employed. As these pensions may be paid at a higher rate than the increase you are getting for them on your pension, they should apply for a pension in their own right 3 months before they reach age 65 or 66. The State Pension (Non-Contributory) is subject to a means test, so we will take into account any other income you and your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant have when deciding if they qualify for that pension. Who is a qualified child? A qualified child is any child under age 18 normally living with you and being supported by you. A child who is age 18 or over and is normally living with you is also a qualified child for the 3 month period after they leave second level education or complete the Leaving Certificate exam. A child aged 18 and up to 22 who is in full-time education continues to be a qualified child until the end of the academic year in which they reach age 22. Amount of Qualified Child Increase If you qualify for an Qualified Adult Increase you will get the full Qualified Child Increase for your child(ren). If you do not qualify for a Qualified Adult Increase, you may get half the Qualified Child Increase. If your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is getting a social welfare payment in their own right, they may get half the Qualified Child Increase appropriate to their payment and you may get half the increase with your pension. Please note that if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant is not getting a social welfare payment in their own right, payment of the half-rate Qualified Child Increase will be subject to a means test. You will not get an increase for a qualified child if the child is getting a social welfare or Health Service Executive payment in their own right, such as One-Parent Family Payment or Disability Allowance.

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.
