asked the Minister for Social Welfare when an invalidity pension book will be returned to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Invalidity pension is payable to insured persons who satisfy the contribution conditions and who are permanently incapable of work.
The person concerned was examined on 25 May 1987 by a medical referee who did not consider him to be incapable of work. A deciding officer decided that he was, therefore, not entitled to invalidity pension. The person concerned appealed against this decision and arrangements have been made to have him examined by a different medical referee on 16 November 1987. His entitlement to invalidity pension will be reviewed in the light of the report of that examination.
