Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 May 2023
191. 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 County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21011/23]
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 person referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 30 March 2023 and will receive her first payment to her nominated bank account on 18 May 2023. Arrears of payment due from 30 March 2023 to 17 May 2023 will issue as soon as possible, once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of overlapping payments (if applicable). The person in question was notified of this decision on 2 May 2023.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
