Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2022
431. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress that has been made to date on the determination of an application for an invalidity pension in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [59277/22]
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 for the person referred to on 15 August 2022. The claim was refused on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme are not satisfied. Notification of the decision issued to the person concerned on 10 November 2022 informing him of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review and appeal. I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
