Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

Following a review of her application, the lady referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 29 November 2018.  Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on 10 October 2019  Any arrears due from 29 November 2018 to 09 October 2019 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue as soon as possible.  The lady in question was notified of this decision on 26 September 2019.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
