Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
1276. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for an invalidity pension by a person (details supplied) in Dublin 11; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41189/22]
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.
The department received a claim for IP from the person concerned on 16 June 2022. The claim was refused on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. He was notified on 19 July 2022 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review and/or appeal.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
