View answerThe gentleman referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 23 August 2018. Payment will issue to his nominated post office on the 01 November 2018. Any arrears if due from 23 August to 31 October 2018 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course.
