Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 May 2022
127. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of a partial capacity benefit application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26724/22]
View answerOne of the criteria to be satisfied in order to qualify for Partial Capacity Benefit is that the person must, at the time of application, be in receipt of Invalidity Pension or have been in receipt of Illness Benefit for a minimum of 6 months.
The person concerned is currently in receipt of Disability Allowance which is not a qualifying payment for Partial Capacity Benefit.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
