Over 50s Money Saving

A question about : State Pension in Ireland is Ј182 per week, how does that compare?

I think it is quite generous at Ј182 per week now (conversion @ today's rates) Ђ230 pw.

What is it in UK?

And all pensioners are entitled to free travel throughout Ireland, not means tested, once you are over 66 years.

Under the household benefits package, once you are over 70, you get gas, electric and TV allowances, no matter what your means are.

I think it is great. These people made our country what it is, through very tough times in the past.

A question about : 60+Oystercard is valid BEFORE you are 60!

If you live in one of the London boroughs and are approaching your 60th birthday, it is worth applying for your 60+ Oystercard as soon as you are eligible to do so: two weeks before your 60th birthday. Why? Because the card is valid from the time you receive it, which (if you apply online) is usually no more than a week from your application.
