Question:

596. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a person (details supplied) can expect a decision on their application for an invalidity pension. [18339/20]

Written answers

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

Following a successful appeal, the gentleman concerned has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 20 February 2020.  Payment will issue to his nominated bank account on 30 July 2020.  Any arrears due from 20 February 2020 to 29 July 2020 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course.  He was notified of this decision on 22 July 2020.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
