Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2022
565. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if the invalidity pension section will take note that the recent information that was requested in the case of a person (details supplied) is currently being prepared by their accountant and will be submitted to her Department at an early date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39328/22]
View answerThe department received a claim for IP for the person concerned on 04 April 2022. On 09 May 2022, a deciding officer (DO) wrote to the person concerned requesting he provide a letter from his accountant or from Revenue confirming the date he ceased self employment. The DO has been informed that the information requested is currently being prepared by the person's accountant and will be submitted as soon as it is available.
Upon receipt of same, the IP claim will be finalised and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
