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.
A claim for IP was received from the person concerned on 15 February 2023. In order to establish their eligibility, two forms were sent to them on 10 March 2023. On return of these completed forms, the IP claim will be processed as quickly as possible and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
