Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 July 2016
295. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection to expedite an application for a person (details supplied) under the invalidity allowance scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19211/16]
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 for the person concerned on the 6 May 2016. The person concerned was refused IP on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. She was notified on the 04 July 2016 of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
