A man who was denied access to the widower’s pension because he was not married to his long-term partner has described his three-year battle to be given the state entitlement as a “fight for equality”.
THE Government will have to decide how long people will have to live together to qualify for social welfare benefits, the Taoiseach has told the Dáil. He was speaking in the wake of the unanimous decision by the seven-strong Supreme Court bench that the denial of a widower payment to a bereaved but unmarried father-of-three was unconstitutional.
