Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 July 2020
625. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a decision will issue on a claim for an invalidity pension by a person (details supplied) given that her Department received the application on 12 December 2019; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18927/20]
View answerInvalidity 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 concerned on 19 December 2019. Medical eligibility has been assessed and she satisfies the medical and the contribution conditions for the scheme. The claim will be finalised as quickly as possible and the lady will be notified directly.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
