Question:

289. 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. [20717/18]

Written answers

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

The gentleman referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 01 February 2018. Payment will issue to his nominated bank account on the 24 May 2018. Any arrears due from 01 February 2018 to 23 May 2018 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course. The gentleman in question was notified of this decision on the 10 May 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
