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 person referred to on 20 September 2023. The claim was refused on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. Notification issued to the person concerned on 11 December 2023 informing her of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of review and appeal.
Following the submission of further medical evidence, a deciding officer has reviewed entitlement to IP and, based on all information to hand, has decided that the original decision to refuse her claim remains unchanged. Notification issued to the person concerned on 15 January 2024 informing her of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of further review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
