Question:

860. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30091/18]

Written answers

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

The lady referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 02 February 2017. Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on the 12 July 2018. Any arrears due from 02 February 2017 to 11 July 2018 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course. The lady in question was notified of this decision on the 06 July 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
