33. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when she will make a decision on an application by a person (details supplied) in County Cork under the invalidity pension scheme. [5609/16]
View answerInvalidity pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and who satisfy the pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.
The department received a claim for IP from the person concerned on 18 January 2016. The person concerned was refused IP on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. He was notified on the 04 April 2016 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review and appeal.
