What happens if I go to live outside the State?

Leaflet Sections

State Pension (Non-Contributory) is not normally paid if you live outside the Republic of Ireland. However, if you are getting this pension, you may continue to get it for up to 5 years in Northern Ireland, or until you get a similar payment from the relevant authority there, if sooner.

If you leave the Republic of Ireland for any other reason, please tell us immediately.
