Invalidity pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and who satisfy the pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.
The Department received a claim for IP for the lady referred to on 11 April 2019. Following an in person medical assessment by a medical assessor of the department on 13 May 2019, her claim for IP was disallowed on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. She was notified on the 28 June 2019 of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
