View answerThe person concerned is in receipt of State Pension (contributory) and an Increase for Qualified Adult allowance since 28 September 2006.
The State Pension (contributory) awarded was based on a yearly average of 47 contributions. It is paid at the weekly rate of €248.30 plus an additional €10.00 over 80 allowance and the maximum Increase for Qualified Adult allowance of €227.00 per week.
