Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection (Deputy Finian McGrath)

The lady referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 22 September 2016. The first payment issued to her nominated bank account on the 5 January 2017 and arrears due from 22 September 2016 to 4 January 2017 issued on 12 January 2017. The lady in question was notified of this decision on 20 December 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
