The information that you requested is set out in the following table. For the invalidity pension scheme, a programme of control reviews is carried out annually to determine continuing entitlement to the scheme. Customers are selected for review according to the perceived risk of their circumstances changing, either in terms of medical eligibility, changes in employment status or other changes in circumstances that may affect entitlement.
In addition, reviews are also carried out arising from various data matching exercises carried out between the Department’s data and data held by, for example, the Revenue Commissioners, Private Rental Tenancies Board and the General Registrar’s Office. Control reviews are also carried out, as appropriate, in response to anonymous reports received from the public.
