Question:

697. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when an application will be processed for a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39370/17]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The lady referred to has been awarded an invalidity pension with effect from the 02 March 2017. Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on the 28 September 2017. Any arrears due from 02 March 2017 to 27 September 2017 (less any overlapping social welfare payment and/or outstanding overpayment) will issue in due course. The lady in question was notified of this decision on the 11 September 2017.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

Question No. 698 withdrawn.
