Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 January 2019
1100. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when the full rate of payment of invalidity pension over the Christmas 2018 period and subsequent reduced payment of partial capacity benefit will issue in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1301/19]
View answerPartial 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 Person concerned is currently in receipt of Partial Capacity Benefit and was assessed with a "moderate" level of work incapacity meaning that they receive 50% of their personal rate of Invalidity Pension
They are currently paid up to date and any arrears including the Christmas Bonus owing to them have issued.
I trust this clarifies matters for the deputy.
