Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 December 2022
82. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for invalidity pension by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [61271/22]
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 10 November 2022. In order to establish medical suitability two forms were sent to him on 16 November 2022. On receipt of the completed forms, the IP claim will be processed as quickly as possible and he will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
