Written answers

Invalidity 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 8th February 2023. The claim was refused on the grounds that the medical conditions for the scheme were not satisfied. The person concerned was notified on 14th March 2023 of this decision, the reasons for it and of his right of review and/or appeal.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
