Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2022
567. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress that has been made to date in the determination of an application for invalidity pension in the case of a person (details supplied); when a decision is likely to issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39330/22]
View answerInvalidity pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and for no other reason and who satisfy the pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.
A new claim for IP was received from the person concerned on 24 June 2022. In order to establish medical suitability two forms were sent to her on 04 July 2022. On receipt of the completed forms, the IP claim will be processed as quickly as possible and she will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
