Partial Capacity Benefit (PCB) allows a person who has been in receipt of Invalidity Pension and who may not have full capacity for work, to return to employment and continue to receive a partial or full payment from the Department.

The PCB claim for the person concerned is the subject of an appeal with the Social Welfare Appeals Office.

A submission has been sent to the Social Welfare Appeals Office and on return of the file the PCB claim for the person concerned will be processed as quickly as possible.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
