Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2019
219. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the number of persons in Limerick city and county in receipt of both the invalidity pension and the living alone allowance together. [37835/19]
View answerInvalidity pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and who satisfy the contribution conditions.
As of August 31, 2019 there were 499 recipients of both IP and the living alone allowance residing in the county of Limerick, including Limerick city.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
