I raised our Social Welfare (Surviving Cohabitant’s Pension) Bill 2021 once again in the Seanad.
With over 150,000 Cohabiting couples in this country, we need to change the law to allow the surviving partner access to a widows pension and other secondary benefits.
It is not right that currently the surviving partner has not got this entitlement.
