The age of eligibility for a state pension is set to increase by another year
Workers turning 65 years of age this January have been warned that they are not eligible for a state pension until 2022 as the age of eligibility is set to increase from 66 to 67 in 2021.
The IAPF , Ireland’s pension saver representative body, has described the situation as"highly concerning and demeaning" for older members of the country's population. "A group who will have contributed to both the Irish tax take and the Irish economy for over 40 years should not have to face this prospect after a lifetime of work."
"We are also advocating for some form of staged phasing in of the changes, to avoid the cliff edge, and to ensure that these pensioners do not lose out on a full year’s pension."
