Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
1591. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for invalidity pension by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36635/17]
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 16 June 2017. A Deciding Officer of the department wrote to him on the 20 July 2017 requesting further information relevant to his claim. The claim will be finalised as quickly as possible on receipt of the requested information.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
