Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 October 2017
182. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a person's (details supplied) pension will be paid into his or her bank account; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43064/17]
View answerInvalidity pension 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 lady concerned is in receipt of invalidity pension from 16 January 2014. A request for a change of payment method was received from her on 2 October 2017. Her payment method was changed to the bank account requested on 3 October 2017 with first payment issuing to her nominated account on 12 October 2017.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
