1188. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the position in regard to eligibility for an invalidity pension in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4892/20]

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. Her first payment issued to her nominated bank account on 26 March 2020. The lady in question was notified of this decision on 13 March 2020.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
