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 gentleman concerned on the 12 January 2017. Medical eligibility has been assessed and he satisfies the medical conditions for the scheme. The claim will be finalised as quickly as possible and the gentleman will be notified directly.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
