Invalidity pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and for no other reason and who satisfy the pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.
The department received a claim for IP for the gentleman concerned on 28 September 2020. The claim was refused on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. He was notified on 02 November 2020 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review and appeal.
This decision was based on the medical conditions for the scheme and not related to homemaker credits.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
