Question:

1184. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if an invalidity pension will be approved and expedited for a person (details supplied). [4721/20]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Finian McGrath)

The lady referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 23 January 2020. Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on the 26 March 2020. Any arrears due from 23 January 2020 to 25 March 2020 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course. The lady in question was notified of this decision on the 10 March 2020.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
