Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

General Scheme of the Social Welfare (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion

Mr. Tim Duggan:

I am simply saying there are quite a number of instances where people can be working for a while but also caring full-time, or close to full-time, for an incapacitated individual and that getting the 20 years of long-term caring credits could be critical to them achieving either a large enough record to get a contributory State pension or a full record. We will count both, where that applies.
