How are you getting a UK state pension at age 62?

You will need to ask about yourt wife's status on the EEA board, and state how you have been exercising your free movement treaty rights in the UK as a "qualified person", for your wife to be in the UK under EU rules.

That puzzled me too. Ireland only pay a state pension after the age of 66 and the UK, 65 :?

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

And for someone who is age 62 now, it will be age 65 or age 66, for a UK state pension. :?

In that case it seems his Russian wife will need to have held a CSI for PR or another RC, as she is the wife of a (non-working) self sufficient qualified person.

She's probably the wife of a permanent resident, so no CSI would be needed. It might be worthwhile for the OP to apply for a DCPR just to smooth his wife's path.
